Body:
How about a post-holiday thread for syntactical irritations? Prompted in part by lambert's post about"folks," and in part by his use of "Big Pharma" (the day after Thanksgiving is the traditional Bash Your Blog Host day). The name for the pharmaceutical industry's lobbying arm is Pharma, not Big Pharma. It's big by definition; adding "Big" is redundant.
So what gets your goat, language-wise (besides rustic and inscrutable idioms, that is)?
