This is a fun list! Let me add two of my personal favorites: "Literally", which means "figuratively". "I could care less", which literally means "I couldn't care less". https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/misuse-of-literally https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/misuse-of-lite... https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2007/01/i-could-care-less.html https://www.grammarphobia.com/blog/2007/01/i-could-care-less... Edit: I feel like a party pooper saying this, but I see a few comments where people may be taking this phrasebook seriously, perhaps because it's been Published on the Internet by MIT? It's not a serious phrasebook! It's just an MIT alumnus having some fun with us all. In fact the author is clearly not a native American English speaker. Here are a few "tells"... "Upon arrival it is therefore often to their surprise how many seemingly simple phrases actually turn out to mean something completely different in the US American variant of the English language." "You might want to consider to do X." "You might want to consider to postpone your trip until after the deadline." "It is highly recommended that you turn in your application in time to increase your odds at being considered." These are close, but not quite what anyone would write who grew up speaking American English. And that's fine! My goodness, the author's English is 1000 times better than my... whatever their native language is. And I'm glad they shared this fun list with us. :-) BTW if you enjoy this phrasebook, I heartily recommend English as She is Spoke: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=english+as+she+is+spoke https://www.amazon.com/s?k=english+as+she+is+spoke
