Jonjel - I am not as bad as him...or maybe I am! Guess you have been on holiday - or business is really good. If you call Norfolk a holiday, then guilty as charged! Yes it is! I had a great holiday in Norfolk in 2010. Only Friday to Monday morning, but it was still good, still somethign I look back upon with pleasure (and sadness, because I'll never go back). Anyway, Their, they're, there, etc. Talking Head's, etc. I don't like Facebook at the best of times, but it peeves me no end to see people you know to be intelligent and sensible, yet who still put something like, I would of told him... (Though really the person I'm thinking of now is not that sensible). Oh, and that US usage, I'm not all that good of a driver...

If you call Norfolk a holiday, then guilty as charged! It is to me! Memories of happy holidays at Heacham, Hunstanton, and Cromer (fresh crabs and end of the pier shows)

Regarding 'would of' I found in lower ability classes I was always correcting this. Pupils would argue 'but that's what we say" and then you'd have to go into 'would've' and apostrophes of omission...many blank looks.

Yes Aubrey... US expressions...in particular 'gotten' I don't mind that, really: and it can be quite useful. It's British as well. I'm trying to reinstate it. I've not gotten very far with it yet though.
