It's a pity the moderator didn't practice what he preached and delete it due to poor grammar.

Practise. It's "practise" .

Synonyms, surely?

One that always makes me see red is "You can't underestimate..." when it should be 'overestimate'.

I have heard "overunderestimate" before...

...from the same young lady who said "edumacate" and watched Countdown on video so she could pause it to complete the puzzles...

Will everyone just stop it!

I had a grown man of approx' 30 come into my shop and ask me if a tin of Heinz spaghetti was 'Propah basketti'. I have never had a harder time trying to hold my tongue.

I know someone who combines "on purpose" and "purposely" to get "on purposely".

I also keep seeing "I have ran" on here. It's "RUN", d'you hear?! RUN!

I run, I ran, I have run.

RUN!

The "Santa bought me bugger all" depends on whether you believe Santa makes all the presents (with his elves, of course) or, the possibility that Santa BUYS the presents, in which case "bought" is correct

And yet another new year has passed with the traditional murdering of Auld Lang Syne by the English.

I thought the quoted text was to highlight the "I BROUGHT myself..." bit.

My OH's Nan used to say 'going off on a tandem', a friends girlfriend was heard to say 'he's as happy as a sandbag'.

Come on people, it's hardly rocket surgery is it?

Sleater Kinney are on the 6 Music playlist at the moment, the DJs can't seem to decide on the pronunciation. Some say Sleeter Kinney, others say Slater Kinney. Personally I'd go with Sleeter, and Slater does annoy me a bit. Which is it?
