I don't ever remember learning english grammar at school (GSCE's in 1989), we did a lot of spelling tests but things like tenses I learned from French and Latin lessons rather than English. If the current curriculum is more rigorous it can only be a good thing.
Same for me, but in the '70s.More in journalism than PH, but inappropriate use of the plural. For example 'Barclays Bank were referred to the.....'
The use of capitals too, or the lack of, e.g. 'Theresa May, home secretary...' No, she is not someone who does the paperwork indoors (as far as we know), but is the Home Secretary.
I secretly like split infinitives though.
Spotted on quite possibly the most entertaining thread this year:

I once met Barbara Windsor on a holiday in 1986. Does that help my credentials?
So, this is quite good fun.
Are you actually a secret super car owner who has a P1, an Egg and pretty much everything else - which you might just be. They do exist in the oddest places. And are you also blessed with a talent to drive them in a way most owners cannot? Again, quite possible. In which case, just come out with it, pitch up to a track, meet me and show me exactly what you mean about the P1's diff issues and general lack of speed. I'll bring some data equipment and, say, an F12 and you can bring your 'Egg and P1 and show me why I was wrong and 'lazy' to be completely mind-fecked by the P1 when I drove it.
If none of the above applies, and I really have no idea if it does or not, then get back to watching videos and making absurd statements because, much like watching a very drunk person loose bladder control, it makes rather good spectator sport.
Ouch!From a journalist too. So, this is quite good fun.

Although, that could construed that the word with has been missed out so is therefore a typo rather than a misspelling. Chris Harris said:
