Yes, and I dont know that it'd be a good idea to type out here...
I love that, in more recent episodes, they gave an explanation as to why Kenny would die in practically every (earlier) episode and then be right back there at the bus stop the next week.

"I'm going to conversate with her," always struck me wrong. I don't have a dictionary handy, is "conversate" a word? I thought "converse" was proper.
I'm Canadian and I find this to be a mostly American thing:
"Where you at?"
I was in a house that hosted many American baseball players, and every single one of them said "where you at? where this at?" and "bro"

Here's one more that drives me batty: Unless you're talking about the instrument, the expression is NOT "Viola!" It's also not "Walla!"
It's "Voila!" (Literally, "Look there!") Learning one actual French word won't make you a commie, I swear.

Are you talking about when his parents gave birth to another Kenny? Or was it a subsequent episode?
Haha, I just had this conversation with my wife yesterday. You are right, it's "converse," not "conversate." Bless her little heart

This one sounds wrong but isn't. If you break it down "supposeably" means it can be supposed. "supposedly" means it has been supposed.
Still drives me nuts though as most people still use it incorrectly.
Oh man, if I was to go into the words my girlfriend makes up ... I'd be single 
She gets so excited to tell me something the words are sometimes grafted. I speak fluent Tammese now. Early on ... Oh boy.

We may be speaking of two different episodes. I'm thinking of the one long, drawn out episode about Kenny dying. At the end of the episode his mom gives birth and they name him "Kenny."
Have you seen the 3 episode with the superheroes? Kenny is Mysterion, who is immortal. When he "dies" his mom gives birth to him again, and they put him in a crib, in an orange parka, and by morning he has grown to his usual size.
Haha! No. Then again, I haven't seen the show in quite a while...
BTW when will you be going back in time to play The Stardust on the 18th again?

I'll get back to you on this as soon as I get myself orientated.
"There's too many" instead of "there are too many". Another one that bugs me is the use of the word "less" instead of "fewer". Then there are those who use the word "literally" when all they want to do is emphasize a point: "he was literally a pain in my @$$!". Oh yeah?! 
Oh, and a big +1 to "begs the question"!
While I'm at it: "doing a crime" and "doing a transaction". Commit your crimes and carry out your transactions!
