1.2.15 Shit Grammar of the Month - January




Since their very first days, your baby starts to write their future, and breast feeding provides them with the best start in life.  After some blurb about Aptamil, it continued: It will help your baby today for their tomorrow.

This rubbish shows contamination of the language at a dreadful level.  Other examples of poor English this month have included:

. . . . two players, both of whom who were released . . .  [Football commentator adding a word unnecessarily]

Last minute addendums.  [Lucy Alexander on Homes Under the Hammer, fucking up royally by avoiding the correct plural form, addenda]

Week three of the blind auditions have come to an end.  [Emma Willis on The Voice UK]

Week two of the blind auditions are over.  [Marvin Humes on The Voice UK]

Parents were furious after a class of 11-year-olds were shown a film at school containing nudity and violence.  [Story in The Sun]

To sell your car quick and easy.  [WeBuyAnyCar.Com advert]

It wasn't through lack of opportunity that there were a lack of goal today. [Gaby Logan]

They done that today.  [Eilidh Barbour, on Final Score]
We've spoke about this.  [Eilidh Barbour on Final Score]
They got beat.  [Eilidh Barbour on Final Score]

Contempory.  [Alexander Armstrong, unable to say 'contemporary']

They played fantastic last week.  [Garth Crooks unable to say 'fantastically']

Put it into an area what is dangerous.  [Alan Shearer]
