When uttered by an ignoramus telephone caller.

I posted this a while back on this thread. When someone calls my phone and asks that I immediately hang up and won't answer calls from that number. That really annoys me.

Phone ...
"Who's speaking?"
My reply is usually "I'm not sure, I don't recognize your voice, so either you can tell me who's speaking or we could keep playing your guessing game, although I don't really have time for your guessing games right now"

1)
"Once" used instead of "After"

Even in the old black & white TV shows

"Once you have done that,..."
"You'll know Once you have done it."

"After you have done that,..."
"You'll know after you have done it."

I usually ask, "What about twice?"
===========================
2)

"AsWell"

Used by persons who could not distinguish between TO, TWO and TOO

Weather Meteorologists from up North say it, people hear and repeat it; News reporters picked it up and say it TOO now.

"He carried an umbrella As Well"
I want to ask "He carried as well as who else that also carried an umbrella"
I'm glad he carried it well instead of poorly.
or
He carried a raincoat and carried an umbrella as well? too?
He carried both equally; one as well as the other?
