I'll see your "anythink" and raise you a "could of".

Also, is it just me or does the word "accidentally" not exist in the
English language? As far as I can tell I'm the only person who uses it
since absolutely everyone else uses the appaulingly clunky "by
accident".


I see official signage in London (temporary signs on laminated paper,
not permanent signs) from such bodies as Westminster Council that have
no concept of grammar nor correct spelling.

Sometimes it's a typo, but even so, which supervisor let it go out the
door without a second look?

The one who is also illiterate.

Councils can't afford to employ that many good people, and most of them
seem to hate their job and take it out on the 'customers'.
