My personal bug is "Knowledge is power" when in actual fact the real quote is "the use of knowledge is power."
Is there any that get you heated and how do you explain them to the people who misquote them>

For several articles, many keyword tools offer suggestions of spellings that should be capitalized, but are often searched for lowercase. Thus, it's tempting to include a few spellings of yugioh instead of Yu-Gi-Oh or star wars instead of Star Wars.So far, I've resisted the urge, but if a few minor...
