Yes, I cringe every time I hear someone say 'I haven't done nothing'.

And then there's the plural noun with an apostrophe before the s ......

I used to lose marks on a piece of schoolwork if I had any grammatical/spelling/punctuation errors, no matter what the subject was. No one seems to bother about it anymore.

Well ADAPS will maintain its standards!

Nice one Lesley, including the deliberate mistake!

That was not a mistake, that was a typographical error.
