This isn't actually a grammar comment but how about the use of 'basis'?
"We'll check the patient on an hourly basis" OK, you'll check the patient hourly then will you?
"I want you to submit your report on a weekly basis" Uh - you want it weekly, right?.
We'll collect the stats on a monthly basis" You'll do it - uh, monthly?
Get the picture?

That's one of many that have had the wrong usage assimilated into their dictionary meanings. Maybe the Borg have taken over the Oxford and Cambridge presses. www.thefreedictionary.com/basis

I am happy when communication is possible. If the choice of words is due to laziness, then I know who I am dealing with, and what to expect. If it is alcohol, then I know what to do, if it is missing education, I need patience.
