Oh where do I begin?

I suspect it comes down to advertising copy writers who clearly failed English, yet those that use their non-skill set are too dumb to realize this.

Macca’s for having rasher bacon (it’s a rasher, aka, slice of bacon)
Being able to “shop in store” (do the mean shop in a store, or in case of the Zombie apocalypse??)
Things are always being “impacted” (not burnt, infected, delayed, flooded, etc. etc. )
Problems are always called “issues”
A simple yes has become “absolutely”
A final result has become “at the end of the day”
Nouns being used as verbs..particularly during the Olympics. “he should podium” (WTF!?)
