"At the end of the day" is being said by everyone. Start listening and you will hear sports commentators, political pundits and shopping channel hosts say this. I also dislike it when a host says "let's climb into this" when they are talking about something that you cannot climb into.

Those bother me too. What annoys me more is when I misuse. I don’t make the mistakes you list but, I frequently dangle prepositions and, I don’t always know how to rearrange to correct without a major sentence overhaul!

Reading this makes me think my usage of frequently to modify dangle might be incorrect or, maybe, my punctuation is incorrect!

I think I make more mistakes when I am word processing. It's amazing sometimes when I read back what I've typed...things I know better than to do, but somehow there is it. I am actually more appalled by educated people on television news, etc. who use atrocious English.
