Picking the nit-pickers' nits

Non-errors - I used to be one of those people, the ones who nitpick word usage and insist that the "classic" usage is the only correct one ("nauseous does not mean nauseated, people!" I would declare uselessly, chasing the wind) and made lists of pet peeves that were usually made up mostly of common grammar "errors". Then I took a word origins class, got a grip on the fluidity and constant evolution of the English language, and got over it.* Now I kinda want to marry this article.

*But that doesn't let you off the hook for misusing "literally." Knock that off right now. Literally For serious.
