| Quote: Remarkable_Rhinos "...Which I'm fine with...'"
With which you're fine, surely?
Or is ending a sentence with a preposition, something up with which you can put?

| This morning I had the privilege of attending a seminar which was co-hosted by a director of this institution and senior auditors from a well known financial services company.
The main speaker was introduced "without further adieu" and proceeded to commit the "yourselves" and "myself" faux pas throughout his presentation.

| Calendar tonight, the reporter says Barrets will be sold as a "growing concern". I think it already is to its employees.

| Quote: Remarkable_Rhinos "Ah yes, well spotted. I'm particularly irked by Earth/earth. Likewise with World/world. I'm sure that world is grammatically correct these days, but it will always be World to me.'"
It entirely depends on how you're using it. If you are referring to the Earth, as in this planet, it is a name and needs a capital. It is entirely possible to use "earth" in other contexts, including as soil or ground, without capitalising.
Similarly, when referring to the World it should have a capital, whereas if you are referring generically to a world, as one of many, then it doesn't need a capital. At least that's how I've always understood it.
Similarly in my work I may refer to something being done by a department, university or trust. However, if I mean to identify a specific department, university or trust, than it is the Department, the University or the Trust.
I could be wrong of course, but nobody has ever complained.

| "Done" instaed of "did".
Shearer is an expert in that.
Countless Scottish soccer players etc using "went" instead of "gone".
The use of "v" instead of "th", it's "think" not "fink" for example.

Would that not be "f" rather than "v"?
