This doesn't pertain to Facebook, and it's kind of persnickety, but it does make my blood boil. (KSUViolet shares my pain in this regard, I hope.)

I hate it in those droning pharmaceutical ads when they give all the cautionary gobbledygook at the end and say a particular med should not be used by those "who are nursing, pregnant, or may become pregnant." This is a classic example of what your 12th-grade English teacher taught you as "faulty parallelism." Literally, the last part is saying "who are may become pregnant."

TEH DUMB.
