Hi Clint. give me a block of wood i would have no clue give me an engine i will strip it and rebuild it, give me a written exam it will be rubbish, i am am one of those folks who cannot get my head round all the dots and , athumb.. :laugh8:
I totally understand what you're saying...its the ones that should know better that amuse me especially in an official capacity. They either don't use spell check,don't proof read or the proof readers are illiterate as the ones writing in the first place.
I also despair at the "cut and paste" experts..
 
Bad grammar,spelling etc. is a pet hate of mine. I'm not out to criticise innocent mistakes but it drives me potty when such things occur in more official documents such as letters from the bank or even such things as work procedures which can sound like they're written by buffoons.

My browser corrects mistakes so I don't understand why others don't use the spell checker defore posting.

Text typing my pet hate, i don't mind abbreviations but when you are typing on a phone or PC/laptop keyboard there is no reason to use u instead of you (and several others) its not the bad old days where you used to have to press the phone key several times to get to the right letter!

Capital I, if you don't mind Chippy!
 
I can't bear to watch Masterchef anymore with John Torode saying things like, "You have to show Greg and I something really special."
I have no problem with people using "me" when it should be "I" and frequently do so myself, but the other way around is affected nonsense trying to be clever. Then again, he is Australian.

There’s a growing number of people who seem to think it’s “and I” all the time and that “and me” is always wrong.

I remember being taught to take away the other person’s name from the sentence and see whether it would make sense.
 
According to my dictionary they essentially mean the same thing except that sanitise is mostly applied to toilets.
The nitpicking that goes on sometimes with “sanitise” and “sterilise” feels like a big dick-waving “I know more about home brewing than you” contest.

Just let people use them as interchangeable terms and be done with it - everyone knows what people mean when they refer to sterilising/sanitising.
