    I wish people could stop trying to teach everyone that Big Ben isn’t the name of the clock. Nobody cares.

    I wish people would stop trying to explain the difference between “to” and “too”, it really doesn’t matter.

    Nock it off, people. If misconceptions are common, that means they’re right.
