Equal
There are several misuses of the word equal. Equal is an adjective. Equals is a verb. However, what really bugs me is the person who tries to use "equal" comparatively. Two items are either equal or they are not equal. When comparing two sets of items, one set can not be more equal than the other. See also: Unique
