It's GRAMMAR school

That's all

campion reign supreme is correct.

Genuine question because I might be missing something.

Why hen doo? Not hen do? I keep seeing it written down with two 'o's on the end...

"Your 40th doo". "My wedding doo".

I am excited for you - fine
I am excited for Christmas - no you are not

@SparklesandFlowers, yes! "Can I lend that book?"
"No, I will lend it, you can borrow it"

'I won him at Monopoly'

That's nice, dear. Which shelf are you going to put him on?

"I seen this dress in a shop".

"You did amazing"

Someone save the adverb from this onslaught?

Possessive apostrophes. They're everywhere, are added for no apparent reason: the bishop's sat down. The bishop's what sat down, whaaaaaaaaaaat? Someone tell meeeeeeee.

TikkaMoSalah 'for free' winds me up no end too. I'm sure it used to be just 'free' or 'free of charge'.

Recommend me a book.

I've only ever come across it on mn though.

MargotLovedTom1 Oops! Mea culpa. Guilty as charged, M'Lud.

So glad I found this thread! A lot of my bugbears have been mentioned already.

Another one is mixing up UK and US spellings - totally get that they are confusing as we are used to seeing both all the time. BUT in UK English, you practise something but do a lot of practice, whereas in US English, you practice something and also do a lot of practice. Confoozing.

@OneMoreForExtra Yes!!!!! I feel the same about "forward planning" and the "exact same" (Hotel flipping Trivago advertisements).

'Off of' is wrong isn't it? Our local radio station is always talking about traffic coming off of the A33 and it drives me mad.

Also the addition of 'what'. As in 'Our spelling is better than what it used to be.'

Both these are so common where I live that I'm not sure what is right or wrong now!

But the latest thing round here is 'done' being used for everything. She done the drawing, he done the cooking, I done it last night...

Babies are grizzy, not grisly.

OneMoreForExtra I recently corrected a good friend who described something as a small microcosm . Luckily, he took it well.

Station you missed out the 'l' - babies are grizzly as in grizzly bears....

Oh, the shame, the shame ! I could of sworn I'd checked it so carefully, two.

Life is just too full of would ofs, should ofs, could ofs....

My bad.

It makes me feel murderous.

The nob (rich person) is behaving like a knob (dick).

My daughter's school planner talks about 'discrete' hair adornments. I have made the head teacher aware
