Cavalry

But of course.....as long as you spell the title properly......

Yeah. Leave it to a bunch of bass players to take Black Sabbath & look for spelling errors. And you cool cats are confused about why the ladies are all going home with your singer?

"Bored of....." makes me wince.

Can you stop the cavalry?

You say "these days" as if there was once some golden era of correctness when nobody ever got anything wrong. It's as okay as it ever was to get things wrong.

Except this is the information age. Unlike the past, there is virtually unlimited access to correct pronunciation, spelling and grammar. That doesn't mean that there will be no mistakes, but IMO it does mean that there should be fewer mistakes.

People leave off the ly at the end of words now. "I took that serious."
"Nucular" Nuclear.

All the extra info has done is show people how many bigger fish there are to fry.

I particularly loathe the use of "of" instead of "have"

"Bored of....." makes me wince.

It's "bored have."

Redundancy (as well as unnecessary repetition ) gets me every time.

brought to you by your department of redundancy department.

Such as cleaning up the messes that poor communication leaves behind.

I just heard this on a radio commercial for a jewelry store that the announcer kept saying jewelery. I thought somebody paid for an ad for a jewelry store that has the word mispronounced.

For a post that is ostensibly about poor English you have left yourself wide open.

I hear many people pronounce the word veteran as vetran or vetren. Here is the proper pronunciation.

Yeah, I know. I did not take the time to word my sentences properly.

There is also a lot of regional variation in pronunciation of various words, not all are incorrect.

The "be like" thing drives me mad too.

Bass players be like, too loud!

Learn your language..... whatever that language may be.

Yes!
There are two basic things everyone should get down well to excel in society, language & mathematics.
If you're not great at math, then you should focus more on the language.

I would think it's because her spelling is better than everyone else in the band.
