Seriously, this is in my earnest opinion, I think, a grave matter.
Nevertheless, however, it's all crap and I do not give a shit.

Mark, mate, there's no need to be worried, concerned, anxious or perturbed by speeling errars.

no they where not, i just wonder if they are deliberate or a oversite.
Double negatives don't never wind me up or perturb me in the slightest at all.
An oversite, shirley?

'Close proximity' really bugs me!

I'd like to clarify and make clear that this trend worries and alarms me.
I wouldn't not want to disagree with you, but I think you're both incorrect and wrong.
The line between deliberate and intentional errors/mistakes and those that are unintended and accidental is becoming blurred and distorted!

palace scum!
I really get wound up by people who use the word "regularly" when they mean "frequently" .... especially when it is by otherwise intelligent people.
For example; recently on a TV post-match report a so-called expert said "Rooney regularly scores goals like that" ... which (it seems to me) would mean that at that time, in every match, in that position Rooney scores the same type of goal - which surely would be quite simple to defend?
Slightly off-topic I realise but it winds me up!!

It might mean he scores a goal like that every 15 years. I think you should wait until 2029 before you criticise the report.
By 'expert' did you mean someone who has a sound working knowledge of football who is able to convey his views to the 'man in the street' such that they would be easily understood or a professor of English ?

Not sure I hear this one out of a snooker context very often but I love it when they say "betwixt and between", as if being betwixt is not bad enough, but between as well!!!
