Another peeve: into vs. to. For instance, he went in the house. No, he went INTO the house. If he went in the house, he did the act of "going" (went) inside the house where he already was. He basically just pissed in the corner of your living room. There are many examples of into vs to...it makes my ears bleed. I see it in professional publications all the time.
