I'm with Max on all his pet peeves.
The other one that drives me mad is the apparent influence of Dan Quayle on spelling in Australia.
How long do you think it will be before tomatoe and potatoe become the norms?
Max - I use exactly the same way of remembering "complement": If both you and I do it, it must be right.
! I won't even start on the whole "loose/lose" thing - hair-pulling is no fun!
I try to help my students by telling them, "If the os are loose, you might lose one."
It doesn't always work - one replied to me, "If my 'ose is loose, it falls dahn to me ankles."
I suppose he could have said that he'd get wet.
