    On a gravestone? Surely they were correct (apart from the missing apostrophe) if a little presumptive!

    Using “of” instead of “have,” for example: “Should of gone to Specsavers.”

    And people in the media who have taken to using double adjectives: “It’s a dangerous and unsafe situation here…”
