Curious to me is why people consider, when Daylight Saving Time is activated (this weekend), is a loss of an hour? Explain how we are losing time, and likewise how we are gaining it when DST ends. The truth is, you neither gain nor lose any time at all. We are merely shifting the measurement of time by one unit of measure (an hour) in either direction. Perhaps people mean that they are losing or gaining sleep, since it occurs when most people are sleeping. What if you are awake when the clock shift occurs? Have you lost anything? If I want eight hours of sleep, I still can have that, as I only need to shift my starting point. I always like to tell people that you can never gain or lose any time, nor can you say "I don't have the time for that." You have all the time you will ever have and you never will gain or lose any of it. The only thing that may change is when the start of an event occurs - in which case, we adjust.

1. Door-Wall: It's either a door or a wall, not both.
2. Back-Butter: So when you are applying grout adhesive, it's okay to mix some butter in there as well?
3. Sweat the pipes: Whomever started this phrase had some mental problems.
4. 2 x 4: Annoying, as the actual dimension is 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" 
5. 110 VAC: It's actually 120V, but people still think is okay to just say "110"
6. 220 VAC: No, it's 240V
7. Rip Cut: How exactly is one ripping a board? Better to say Ripsaw cut.
8. Pull a permit: This one is especially annoying. Why is it "pull?" No one ever says they are going to "pull" a parking permit or I'm going to pull a driver's permit.
9. Lay up : How is one laying "UP" something? You always lay DOWN things, never up.
10. Hardwood Floors: Rarely (if ever) are they SOFTwood, so one doesn't need to say hard -- just say wood floors please.
11. Garden Tub: How is it that gardens suddenly relate to bathtubs?

More are on the way.
