You Know What I Hate?
(I knew you've been wondering.)
It's when some marketing department (like Vonage's this morning) writes "Save up to 50% or more on your phone bill!"
Aargh! You can write "Save up to 50 %" or "Save 50% or more," but combining the two makes no sense!

but it can still be an accurate statement
Sure it makes sense - it means you can save any amount *except* 50%.

Nonsense, you gratuitous fault-finder! It merely majestically means that your savings may amount to less than, or (making allowances for understandable abbreviation) equal to, or perhaps more than 50%. It is a thrilling obeisance to Aristotle, and needs your support in these chaotic times.
