I get so fed up of reading for sale adverts written by people who think brought is the past tense of buy. It really does my f###ing head in!
I've just read one on eBay where they use it several times throughout their ad. ARGHHH!!!
It's BOUGHT, you tw#t!!!
And breathe. I feel much better now.

Oooh a grammar spelling and punctuation rant - allow me to add the phrase 'peace of mind'.
When you do something preventatively for instance, it is for peace of mind - so you aren't worrying about it.
Not to be confused with giving someone a 'piece of your mind' you tell them in strong terms how you feel on a particular subject.
'Piece of mind' is absolutely not a thing.

Well, funny you should mention spelling..............
Only today I had to explain to the wife how two words could sound the same yet be spelled differently.
The example I used was:
"If only you could curb your tongue as well as you kerb your alloys"
I am writing this from the shed

Ah but now we're slipping away from grammar/spelling and back to the old advert wording gripe.
Nothing like a well placed apostrophe to make my day

Ive seen this a few times on here and not sure if its correct or not.
I have seen "top draw" when I thought it was "top drawer"
Which one is correct?

Looks like I've started a rantfest
Reminds me of people who think they've got "Chester draws" and are completely oblivious that they're called a chest of drawers.
I'm serious, search for "Chester draws" in eBay
Pretty sure it's drawer.
