That's a great list of errors. My favorite is "literally," as in "I was literally blown away by my good luck."
I notice, however, that the list doesn't mention "miracle" to denote a happy but unexpected event like the Red Sox winning the World Series. It seems that the word is losing its Biblical sense.
