Off of - my grammatical tolerance limit has been exceeded

[TwitterQueen1]

I know this should be in Pedants' Corner but posting here for traffic. I make no claims to be perfect when it comes to use of English but as a trained English teacher (many years ago) correct (or acceptable) usage does matter to me.

I am also ashamed to admit I was on the DM site earlier, where I spotted the headline Black celebrities come to Bruno Mars' defence after he is accused of 'cultural appropriation' for profiting off of African-American musical styles

FROM!!!!!! the word is FROM!!!!! This is it! I was coming close with the constant pleas to "bare with me" despite the fact that I don't want to get naked with anyone just now, but I'm over the edge now....

Basic writing skills are the absolute minimum qualification for journalists. These days a lot of them appear that be only semi-literate and there don't seem to be any subs to correct their copy any more.

To be.

I suspect voice recognition software is responsible for a lot of glaring typos and grammatical errors.

Bought and brought are pissing me right off at the moment.

Love it. Like the thought of manatees chirping 😀

To all the posters who put que (something)...it's not que, it's cue.

YANBU in any way, shape or form.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Afternoon, all. We think this thread might sit better over in Pedants' Corner. We're going to take it off of here now. (Sorry).

Hebe, how could you?! I thought better of you MNHQ
