After recent dissertations on other aspects of written English I have to say that the constant use of 'done' where 'did' is correct and, to a lesser extent, vice versa, is driving me spare!

Why?

I would have thought there were bigger issues to worry about? (Use of text talk etc :sj:)

Done for did is annoying, but not as annoying for me as mixing up their & there, which seem to be two of the most common errors on this forum.

I once did a post to explain the difference between the two, in the hope that some people would learn from it, but still it continues.

Now this I totally agree with .... This is very very annoying indeed and also although it doesn't happen in written speech my all time worst pet hate is the use of "F" in place of "TH" and vice versa....

Let's make a pact next person we hear say "I fought I done it properly" gets hit with a large wet squid :D :D :D :D :D

With you all the way. Did we not form a pedants society or whatever a few months back?

We did, or should that be 'I concur'?

The powers that be could add a new forum rule "Spelling mistakes and gramatical errors will not be tolerated"

Trouble is, the forum would need about 10 new full time mods to do all the amendments!
