'It's laughter and it's loving I disdain', huh? Nice sentiment for the Families Commission guy...
reminds me of that meme where you put your digital music player of choice on shuffle and count how many songs until you get to one that would see you out of the running for PM.

Which politician chose "I am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel?
Winston Peters? He's a rock, he's an island (with no immigrants).

Having his knee cut open I believe.
That's nothing! Colin Meads would be out there!

"factoid", mistakenly believing it to mean a small fact
Ah crap! That's what I thought a factoid was too. Consarnnit!
I would go for quantum+fact = factum
I also just had someone tell me about an "infinite number of possibilities". Really? That many?

What with oil prices soaring, a private jet might be a dumb purchase. Also where's the adventure? Go for a jetpack and maybe you get my vote.
"Thanks for the vote Citizens" (waves to crowd) Whhoooosshhh!!!

We should emulate the attitude of the South Africans!
Heh, we should lose and then win, not win then lose.

Heh and at [__Hadyn's place of work__] we use "matrix" or "framework" instead of "table" and "graph" instead of "chart" (though that's pretty common)

We are also warned to look out for "weasel words"

Somewhere back in the comments someone mentioned "impact".
There's a religious advertisement on TV some mornings where they proclaim that "Jesus will impact your life". I used to laugh and say "Jesus will impact your teeth!"
They need an "on"

Ah crap!
first a bad quote tag and then an apostrophe catastrophe. That'll teach me to preview. -
<quote.The PAS Women's XV! Hear us roar!</quote>
"PAS Wimmin's XV" surely?Oh and that's a bugbear for me: Roman numerals. I will always refer to the "First 15" etc. The Roman's did nothing to aid mathematics and have a horrible counting system.
In terms of grammar hatred though I completely forgot "from whence". If you say "whence" you don't need to say "from"
