One of my pet peeves: “I graduated college in 1987.” This usage of the verb is becoming more and more prevalent. But it’s wrong. It’s supposed to be, “I graduated FROM college in 1987.” The preposition is needed for the verb; otherwise, the verb makes no sense: You graduated college into what or compared to what?
@solariohm Ha! Actually, that’s not so incorrect, lacking just an article, and putting “the” before “hospital” would suggest a specific place, rather than a generic situation. So I’m okay with that.
