Ok, I thought of what I think is a new one. It bugs me when an ad says "Save 50-60% off". No, no! You take 50-60% off, and you save 50-60%. No off. Blah! I know what "take off" means, but what the heck is "save off"??

er.... isn't there a non-verbal, or i guess, non-written "...the original price" at the end of that phrase?
ie: "Save 50-60% off the original price."
It makes sense to me.

Hmmm I dunno...I think I would still say "take 50-60% off the original price." I can't wrap my brain around it...
