Always makes me smile.

Could have meant "you're our angel" or a forward slash was missing...
"your/our angel"!! 😉

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..."
