Grammar/language peeve of the day: “whenever” used as a synonym for “when”. They are not synonyms. “Whenever” speaks of repeated — or theoretically repeated — instances of some occurrence, or alternatively of some indeterminate future event. (Although, in the latter case, “when and if” would be preferable and more accurate.)
