I was talking with someone the other day about what reoccurring annoyances drive us batty, when I realized that one of mine is people who use the word "reoccurring."
They mean "recurring," and there's no "o" in it. "Reoccurring," though widely used, is only a bastardization of the proper word. But at this late date, the point is probably mute irregardless of what's correct.
