I don't like "my bad," "where's it at," "irregardless," and "I could care less." There's a list here at BBC

Kind of a "duh." But this is specific to attribute + noun utterances.

1.) The red balloon. (Attribute + noun)

2.) The balloon that is red (Noun + attribute)

#2 is actually easier for kids to learn from. Their attention is focused on the object, and then an attribute of that object. In #1, they are given an attribute, when there could be many other red things in the room, then given the object name. It is much less focused. Article here.

Interesting to note. I'm surely going to use this.
