>A common mistake in England too. I remember writing "of" for "have" when I was in elemantary school (cos that's how it's often pronounced). The teacher marked it wrong. I studied it and thought "yes - not a doing word - it means 'belonging to'". It was at that point that I developed my keenness for the language :-)

There used to be a character called Hida Ogden who was a master at them. She always referred to her large picture on the wall as her "Muriel". The word's entered common speech as a joking substitute.

Not to mention the many people who seem to think that 'yous' is the plural of 'you' - "Did yous all watch the super bowl?"

That's one that actually makes me cringe. I suppose the dictionary will be changed to accomodate it one day.
