Mangling the Queen's English: a case study
Orams was writing about Prince Harry (the subject matter doesn't warrant mentioning here) when he wrote, "Actually, if I really had of said that I would probably be writing Coastal Comment from the comfort of a hospital bed."
Orams hedged his bets with his next paragraph and wrote "Instead, I think I may have said something like "What about me, sweetie; don't you find me sexie? Well, don't you?""
An editor he might be, a wordsmith he ain't.
Who edits the editor?

The man has always been barely literate, frequently sexist and often badly uninformed. He's the reason I don't bother to open the Coastal Views anymore.
