These sorts of things (not 'these sort of things') tend to irritate me to (sorry, I mean 'too') and make me loose (sorry: 'lose') my temper (not that I ever do). Basic English which people ought to know. But I blame the poor quality of teaching, and single mothers..

Love malaprops, though..

I've been guilty of this in the past however once I was pulled up on it (by Matt) I realised it was because of the way I speak. Now when I don't spell correctly using text or computers it's because of spellcheck on my phone or laptop. I'm now irritated by other people not using correct terms and it annoys the people I correct haha

That's not grammar, that's punctuation.

It's the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle Jack, off a horse.
