Statement 1) It was a near miss.
Explanation: This to such implies that it was nearly a miss or that it hit/was a collision. You could also view it as it was a near miss in the sense that it just "barely" missed, though that would be because the wrong words were used due to our society as a whole accepting incorrect grammar.
Statement 2) Preheat your oven to 350*.
Explanation: What this implies is that they are asking you to heat your oven before you heat it. Pre in its context means "before"...so hence...heat it before you heat it.
Statement 3) Our vacuum has the most suction.
Explanation: Vacuums do not "suck". What happens is within the vacuum a low pressure is created by the motor/fan combination. This low pressure creates a pressure difference between the higher pressure within the carpet (or in the layer of air above your flooring) causing the dirt to literally "leap" into the vacuum to equalize the pressure difference...or as our acceptance of the statement applies...it was "sucked" up. It is just like how in nature (or diving) a high pressure wants to move into a low pressure area to stabilize.
Read: To read; current tense or read as is in past tense...all in one word.
I have lots more, however my kids are driving me nuts and my brain is not working lol. I will post more later when I remember them.
