I am surprised that no one made any mention of the common mistake of putting adjective/description before the noun as is done in English. For example
Chosheve mosad or chosheve bachur (vs. mosad chashuv)

Chanuka mesiba (vs. Mesibas chanuka)

Purim seuda (vs. seduas purim)

You may also realize that that there is no term in the sefarim of shalach manos (mishloach manos)

BTW the same people who defend the Yeshivishe way of talking should also defend Ebonics (spoken by African American lower class) as a vald dialect that should be respected. They really are quite parallel.
