Yet another one -- getting the Chazan for Mevorkhim haChodesh to call
the months of "Av" and "Marcheshvan" by their real names! Both "Menachem
Av" and "Cheshvan" are people confusing cute pshetlach with peshat.

And: "Az, 'bekol raash gadol' adir vechazaq, mashmi'im kol..."
Last, in Qaddish: "... shemeih de-"Qudeshah Berikh Hu'!" Just because
Ashkenaz repeats the "Berukh Hu" doesn't change the fact that the
Chazan is talking about QBH as a sheim Hashem. The Gra says this is
very important, and has to do with Qaddish referring to Zeir Anpin.
But even without Qabbalah, the comma where Chazanim tend to put it
makes the sentence unparsable.
Tir'u baTov!
