You should run away from any mortgage broker who incorrectly uses "principle".

I can understand Joe Public not using grammar correctly, but when it is on an official document, shop sign (ie made by a signwriter rather than hastily chalked on a board,) or in the newspaper, then time should be taken to get it right.

Both my OH and I find the lazy use of spelling, punctuation and grammar to be increasing.

I can't, I'm by no means perfect, but a decent level should be expected of everyone.

The level of competence in my new workplace is shocking, most of them are behind where I would have considered myself at the end of primary school

Increasing what?

'I / You / She / He / We / They should OF known better.'
Could be any other should / could / would construction as above.

I think people should be accurate. I mean I don't want my hypertension being mistaken for hypotension.

My dad used to get annoyed at folk confusing gasometers and gas-meters.

My current pet hatred is the incorrect usage of "I" instead of "me".

I don't know if people think it makes them sound more intelligent to say "Sally and I" instead of "Sally and me" but it isn't always correct.

It's really simple though - take out 'Sally and' in your sentence and then work out whether you'd use "I" or "me".

Unless, of course, you aren't using a sentence containing "Sally"...



(Yes, this is completely unimportant to most people. Do I care? No.)
