I wouldn't say this, but I would use the negative "We don't use a gas stove anymore." It only sounds odd to me in the positive. But for annoying use of language you can't beat my former ethics professor who pronounced "especially" as "expecially." Drove me nuts.

forgetting the apostrophe in the possessive form of its.
I thought the posessive form of its wasn't supposed to have an apostrophe, and it's is always a contraction.
