I've been following Sue's Red Marker Blogathon with great interest, and especially enjoy reading the comments. A lot of the common errors one sees have been covered, so I have little to contribute.
Among the many 'englishes' we encounter, though, the errors made by working class people who have just a smattering of the language, are often rather endearing.
The SRE's caddy sends him an SMS one morning, saying ' Call me at this nambar.'
A long ago employee had to take her daughter for a Hex-ra ( an X-ray).
According to my driver, the substitute car has many 'poblem.'
And last, but most definitely not the least, I had the plumber in last week, and among other items on his bill, this one stood out: 'Shit cover.'
Could anything be possibly more appropriate for a toilet seat?

Shit cover? Fantastic. Even better than "Bill to the Chief Engineer's backside" (Gerald Durrrell).
Bwwahahaha! This is clearly my fave RMB post.
And my personal fave is Hex-ra. Just simply amazing.
The Gold Medal for Sue's RMB should definitely go to this post. Altogether brilliant!
ROTFL at shit cover.

Shit cover? We should applaud him for coming up with such an apt term, shouldn't we?:D
