Phrases You Hate in Books, or ideas

edit: This post was about finding the use of 'lighted' instead of 'lit' eg 'the torch lighted up the trees' which I noticed a while ago in a book I was reading, then searched and found it in others. But I have calmed down now because I checked again and found its not that common - I got the impression it had somehow become standard without my noticing.

 Not in books, but lately you cannot find the words "dictator" or "dictatorship" without the "brutal" in front of them.  Use another word or just skip it, it's become almost universal.  

How about 'puppy kicking dictator'?  Now that tells us all we need to know.
