I’m 45 and still don’t know if it’s affect or effect.
Had a "discussion" with the Senior partner of the company I worked for over that one.He was a very clever bloke but on that occasion he was incorrect.
Affect - will cause
Effect - the result

It irrertates the hell out of me, sew much sew that I then concertrate on the errors and not the artical.
The standerd of journalism is now pour, perhaps as a result of the 'liberal' attitudes to education in recent decades; a peace in our local rag recently reported how male had 'gotten into the river' (at least it wasn't a mail that had gotten into the river, that wood have bean two mutch.
" Vauxhall Approved Front Break Pad Replacement (£99.00) " This is from a section of Vauxhall's UK website
At least its spread across the bored: my official MB dealership group has been advertising cars that have been 'prepared in the manor you'd expect'. I emailed them and asked which manor they are using but they didn't reply. At least they're tires looked okay for use on the rode.
The reality is that nobody proofreeds nuffink these days.
School pupils on strike, having been band from wearing shorts too school, one written protest comment: "We where shorts". Too many lessons on individual's rights, not enough on the basics.
Often herd on TV - "Tis, intit". Oh deer, what happened to the old BBC's Received Pronunciation?
Inn summery:
Is it fare to blame people if they weren't taut watt too right?

When we have the SI International System of Units and for length we have the metre and yet I constantly see (from non-septics) something along the lines of "I parked two meters from the line". My inner voice screams what, two electric meters or two gas meters or two multimeters...
Even more infuriating the US Physical Measurement Laboratory banging on about the meter. It then links to The International Treaty of the Meter.
I also tyre when people ask about budget tires.
ect - 'shirley' that would etc?

Certainly in South Wales, "I seen him do it", (saw) "I done that" (did) and so forth.
But my pet hate is "must of" instead of "must have".
The “I done that” brigade really makes my teeth itch. But my pet hate is "must of" instead of "must have".
The other one is when someone is talking about a recent purchase, they’ll say, “I brought a new...” instead of something they bought.
Even worse, they link both balls-ups together, “I done the front subframe the other day but it was shagged, so I brought another one on eBay.”
