Mother Tongue Annoyances is a nice blog for those interested in linguistics and language (specifically, the English language). From the origin of the word honking as an adjectival intensifier to strange business names and construction signs with poor grammar, Mother Tongue Annoyances covers pretty much every kind of peculiarity there is in the regular usage of the English language by native speakers. It even touches on a few examples of one of my favorite linguistic phenomenon -- the eggcorn.
