In the highly unlikely event he’s a creep, then they would be fine.  Even then he could sue and claim he was framed by a bunch of lying broads (and he’s probably win, TBH).

OK, I'm calling out @cals as Mickey Callaway. The name, the opinions, the defence of the indefensible, yes, I see it now.

One more reason we should all be happy we won the American Revolution. If we lost then we would all be typing this way.

I unrionically used "willy nilly" in a message this morning. I'm turning into a 50-something man.

For me the worst is when they say “in hospital”.  So douchey.

Mine is "whilst". Doesn't even seem like a word.

he also cheated at golf fairly regularly.

"Irregardless" and "oftentimes" are two words that should never be used.

Yup, it's a messed up language for sure, mostly because it's an imbroglio of other languages. Every word in English that ends in "tion" is spelled exactly the same in French for example.

We say 'in hospital' if you are staying there as an in-patient, and 'in the hospital' if you are just visiting, working there, or an out-patient. Do you guys also say 'in the college', or just 'in college'? 

'While' and 'whilst' are slightly different to each other - e.g "I have been using my mobile phone whilst driving for a while now" - the whilst infers a certain duality of action.

'Often' and 'oftentimes' are both a variation of 'oft' and both have a degree of redundancy. All three are correct so it's just personal taste for those.

'Irregardless' is just plain silly and probably used only by pretentious numpties.

One of your sayings I can't stand is "my bad" - for some reason that one really grips my shit.

I suggest a job-sharing arrangement: I'll tackle the language and entrust @EnglishCop to continue his excellent work addressing the grammar. Between us there may be some hope of delaying the seemingly inevitable decline of English into post-millennial text speak.
