Pet Peeves

You cannot Reminisce something.
You reminisce ABOUT something.

ie you can't reminisce your old school days.

Please, please someone kill all the radio DJs who are corrupting the language, or at least send them to a re-education center.

**********
Demise. You cannot demise.

You can mourn your demise. Well ok technically you can't.

The point being Demise is a NOUN. not a VERB.

Please someone kill all the housemen who are destroying my sanity every friday. Before I do.
