Grammar Vigilante

[#1]

I like this story about the Grammar Vigilante of Bristol.

I invited him to patrol this forum but he declined, saying it was far too big a task for one person.

Lets see how hes accepted by Bristols sign writers.

[#2]

Oh, come on now. I'm sure even you realise that last line should have been:

Lets see how hes accepted by Bristols sign writer's.

[#3]

Should of taken more care.  Ooops theirs another of my pet hates.

Even then it should be:

Let’s see how he is accepted by Bristol’s Sign Writers.

Yes @Mook I thought I'd drop in a couple in my OP to get the ball rolling.

Yes @MauriceC the 'of' replacement for 'have' really gets me hot under the collar.

[#6]

@Strat  and you missed the 'theirs' ---> 'there's' 

[#7]

You're all loosing it

[#8]

I also hate that expression " should of" it really grates with me.

Another pet bugbear is the ending of a sentence with "and stuff"!  You frequently hear people say " we went to the cinema, had a meal out and a few drinks and stuff. What is that all about?

[#9]

@Strat, not to mention @MauriceC's use of 'theirs' and not there is. Of course responding to a post like this is asking for trouble as someone will no doubt point out the next time I make a mistake, just as well no one is perfect.

Edit:- Apart from the @agedgopher, of course!

[#10]

@Mook   Sorry but you are wrong. I used to be conceited and big-headed but now I am perfect.

[#11]

@Strat  "Yeah, No, But Yeah, I see what you mean..... "

[#12]

Here`s a Grandma Vigilante for you !

Seems somewhat ironic that someone who spends their time correcting punctuation would call themselves a grammar vigilante...
