And people who use "done" instead of "did"
I done a trip to the shops

However without that
you couldn't have the finest 'knock, knock' joke ever:

'Knock, knock'
'Who's there?'
'Idunnup'

That's no better.
One 'sits' an exam.

Nope.
One 'takes' a shit.

Yes, on the Queen's corgis.
What sort of example is that to set for your child?

people in my office who should really know better have dreadful speech habits
such as saying "it's broke" instead of "broken" and things like "I were sat down". It might just be a northern thing though. Peasants. One of the girls here says "everythink" which is annoying, but again I think it's the accent rather than an actual belief that the word is everythink.

Oh god this.
So much this. THIS THIS THIS. I even had one of my idiot friends arguing with me that it was right.

That is not an argument.
An argument comprises structured reasoning. What you have described is a person being wrong.

My mum had a habit of writing "I'me" for ages until I eventually beat her out of it

( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 16:27, Reply)

my mum tries to write text speak, bless her
except she's from the generation of shorthand so it just doesn't make sense. She shortens things by putting an apostrophe in, for example: the word something would be s'thg and Manchester is M'cr. You might think they're quite obvious but if the whole text is filled with them it makes your eyes bleed.

Of what?

(ThomsonsPier consumes, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 16:30, Reply)

not English thankfully.
Politics and psychology methinks. So I suppose it doesn't really matter, but if even the teacher can't spell correctly then it doesn't really help the students.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 27 Sep 2010, 16:31, Reply)

This is true.
My Year 9 English teacher made threats to the class at large with regard to "could/would/should* of". I could never quite comprehend why people had such difficulty.
