'Grow the business'.
I realise that any argument against this usage is unlikely to get very far on purely grammatical grounds so I'll have to try something else. I find it extremely irritating. You can grow old, you can grow spuds (preferably Jersey Royals), but you cannot grow a business. I do not advocate the use of deadly force, but it should at least be summoned to the headmaster's study and given a stern talking to. I have spoken.

He's right you know. There's really no need for all these half-baked puns.
