Another shibboleth to do with missing words is missing prepositions in US English: I've mainly seen this in cnn.com headlines, but people do it in speech too: "Let's do this Tuesday" rather than "Let's do this on Tuesday".



I always have to read such sentences at least twice. I often seem to consider the final word to be an adverb or noun and wonder exactly how people manage to "run Tuesday" or "announce Thursday".
