    'Electrocuted' when what is meant is an electric shock (electrocuted means you DIED).

    'off of' should be 'from' in most cases - "he moved off of the couch" - NO, he moved FROM the couch!

    'I bought it from eBay' - no you didn't, you bought it from a SELLER ON eBay. Which reminds me:

    brought and bought - "I BOUGHT the pinball machine and I BROUGHT it home"

    'could care less' - OK, so you actually still do care a little bit then! Correct is "COULDN'T care less" meaning you absolutely don't care even a tiny bit - COULD NOT.

    "Lighted Flipper Kits"

    OMG - how about 'LIT Flipper Kits' or better 'Illuminated Flipper Kits'
