Also, I don't really understand:
22. Train station. My teeth are on edge every time I hear it. Who started it? Have they been punished? Chris Capewell, Queens Park, London
What else is it supposed to be called? Just....a station? I don't know...
This, I cannot fathom what else you want to call it...
And searching Google for "what's wrong with saying Train Station" brings up this thread and a tentative explanation of "Railway Station"... what? for an area that stations railways?
A Train Station stations trains, railways are what they travel on...
Edit: Also can we stop with the hate for "I could care less"? Some of us legitimately COULD care less when we use the damn phrase, meaning if I don't care at all, I would say something different.
In fact, by so much as GIVING a response I have already shown some level of giving a damn, if I didn't care at ALL, I wouldn't be replying.
Besides, it's mostly the tone of voice that gives away the intention, words alone aren't the be-all and end-all of communication.
