"For all intensive purposes..."

Anniversaries only happen annually so "year" is redundant. It's "first anniversary".
I don't think it's only a year. It can be any specified length of time. Six month anniversary and such.

After some googling it turns out it its Latin derivation includes the word year but I'm fairly sure it's commonly acceptable to use it for other non annual events.
 
Irregardless is my favorite! I used to play the Café quite a bit (see pic)! Best. Name. Ever.

Also, "due to the fact that" should ALWAYS simply be "because. "

Near miss. - I'm sure this can be debated grammatically or contextually, but the way this term hits my brain I hear, "...almost missed...".
- This would indicate that a collision, contact or connection did in fact happen. Right?

Adding extra letters and/or non-existent words.
Warsh - (ed/ing)
- I need to warsh my hands.
- I went allofaway acrossed town to get my car warshed.
- Did you put the clothes in the warshing machine? (oh, and yes, they pro-noun-ciated clothes properly)
