What are your pet peeves re English usage?

Right. A question.
What do you think about people saying,
"You did good."

I always thought it correct to say,
"You did well."

Your thoughts?

This may surprise you not at all, but I don't agree it's a good point.

The kind of typeface shown by A2K on your screen is a world apart, style-wise, from a printed page with a formal font.

I have rejected documents typed with only one space after full stops, and required them to be revised, because to me it looks bad. And quite obvious too, although I agree with Clary that it's not so obvious when reading computer-script on the screen.

I rest my case. Just what is it that makes some so anal retentive, especially when it comes to language? These folks probably aren't near as diligent when it comes to the Ten Commandments.

"The view at CMS [Chicago Manual of Style] is that there is no reason for two spaces after a period in published work."

M-W online:

Main Entry: good
Function: adverb

usage Adverbial good has been under attack from the schoolroom since the 19th century. Insistence on well rather than good has resulted in a split in connotation: well is standard, neutral, and colorless, while good is emotionally charged and emphatic. This makes good the adverb of choice in sports <"I'm seeing the ball real good" is what you hear -- Roger Angell>. In such contexts as <listen up. And listen good -- Alex Karras> <lets fly with his tomatoes before they can flee. He gets Clarence good -- Charles Dickinson> good cannot be adequately replaced by well. Adverbial good is primarily a spoken form; in writing it occurs in reported and fictional speech and in generally familiar or informal contexts.

A snowball is already frozen over. It would have to either be water freezing over, or snow not melting very quickly in hell to be impressive.

Some of our sports commentators (not the anchors, the ex-players) use this construct too

"The boy done good"

"The team done great"

but as far as I know it has not yet got into our grammar books as an acceptable alternative to the more orthodox style.
