Something that has always bothered me is morons who say "raise" when they are making the initial bet in a hand - "uh, sir, that's a BET" -, and similarly many of same players say "re-raise" when they make the first raise.

Eh, I don't get too bent out of shape over this. I also sometimes say "call" instead of "check" from a post or the blind. They're all technically correct. You are raising the bet from zero to some number of chips. You are using your forced bet to call.
