There killing our language

[the mojo hobo]

Every day I read something that shows me that the internet media either doesn't know the language or doesn't care to state things correctly but this takes the cake:

(The misuse of There in the topic title is intentional)

it's been going on so long i hardly notice anymore. imo they don't care. its become the status quo on the interwebs. sad situation not to be fixed anytime soon.

Don't get me started. Some of my favorites:
The contraction "must've" (must have), which more and more I see written as "must of".
The your / you're dilemma
Butchery of the past tense - Instead of "the strings need to be changed", we have "the strings need changed".
It's not just the media.

Yes, you all have my symphony.

"Lanx offers a glimce into its decision to use Virtustream for cloud services"

Glimce?  Isn't he the one who stole Xmas?

On the news everyday "He pleaded not guilty" instead of "he plead not guilty"

Drives me crazy.......

Yep...we're loosing controls of our language.

My other favorite - "supposebly"

I could not care less. Often said incorrectly as I could care less.

Actually pleaded is usually preferred to pled. You'll find it more often in legal writings.

You know you're in Minnesota when somebody asks you to borrow them something. This long predates the internet.
