It drives me mad when people refer to 'going private' as in schools or healthcare. Even MPs and people in authority seem to say it. Shouldn't it be 'privately' as in 'you have the choice to go privately for healthcare/education' (I know that sentence in itself is wrong, but I can't think of a better example!!)not 'people who choose to go private' etc etc. I always want to shriek 'privateLY'....Please someone tell me if I am wrong and I shall stop fuming about it.
