I'm sure the police love been accompanied by a civilian onlooker who cant do anything to assist them, yet watches them like a hawk.

It's amazing the number of people who can't use 'been/being' correctly.

Right up there with 'could've' and 'could of'. A real annoyance of mine.

It's because people don't read these days. They only ever experience it spoken so they write what they think they hear.

My particular bugbear is, "fed up of" rather than the correct, "fed up with" and, "bored of" instead of, "bored with". It's the same problem. The latter is becoming more heard in speech so people tend to write what they hear rather than what is correct.

Agreed. Along with less instead of fewer.

Particularly when listening to Elvis Costello's Oliver's Army. "One more widow, one less white n-gger". But then, fewer wouldn't have scanned.

Hmm I did consider I may be opening myself up to potential deformation here, however the fact that not a single bolt or hose clamp was done up on any part he touched is sufficient grounds to assume that he is, indeed, a clown...

So whilst I am a teacher so it is relevant that it is the school holidays, I am a 32 year old mother of 3 small children.

Clearly not of English.
