What I find annoying is the widespread misuse of "alternate" (as in "alternate take") for "alternative."

It's an alternative take, not an alternate take -- regardless of the ubiquity of the solecism.

I was a huge Tesla fan, not that it has ANYTHING to do with what anyone is talking about right now, though.

Tesla sucked!

It was no help their being from Sacramento.

Well, considering we all use alternating current, we all are, too. If Edison had his way, we'd all be using direct current.

(Yes, I DO watch too much Science Channel)

Oh noooo! I would even go so far to say that they were one of my alltime favorite bands. What didn't you like about them?

Here's a minor annoyance, since that's what this thread is about:

Over in the "FM Musical" thread, there seem to be a lot of people saying, "Well, if they do it right, it could be really good." Well of course it could be good if they do it right, Sherlock. That's the definition of "doing it right." Although I don't think there really is a way to "do it right" when "it" involves combining Fleetwood Mac and Broadway.

I tend to agree with you on that one.
