Tudor: I agree that there are many better questions to elucidate the 
tricks/pitfalls of language.  but lets list the biggest time wasters first, 

  Er, it's a rather big job. I think you're talking about all abstract nouns. 
Time. Space. Honour. Justice. Truth. Realism Beauty. Science. Art.   You're 
talking IOW about a dimension of language almost as fundamental as adverbs. 

  It's worth pursuing the illusions created by the verbal abstractions of 
language and the ways we use them  -  but it's a huge task.
