    Having been accused of 'grammar police' practices in the past, I'm not a stickler for grammar as long as it communicates, but sometimes mistakes can interfere with that, and when it's done on-line it can be perpetuated by others. It annoys me when the BBC gets it wrong, as millions of people are listening or watching and may take that as correct.

    The only problem I have with the vid. which I enjoyed btw, is that for those that it would help, it goes much to fast for them to grasp it! <ok>

    I would comment about the BBC in particular but i'm sure a brand new poster would leap out of the woodwork to criticise me for doing so.....

    My favourite has to be 'baring or bareing in mind' which is often used on here. <laugh>
