I think this one is the most common. In fact, it has become so habitual that people don't even notice the error anymore.

And its instead of it's
Declear instead of declare
Working place instead of workplace
People from all walks of life and not ....works of life. grin

MissMeiya: Ohhh this is one I HATE. Nigerians switch the words "would" and "will".

Example: I will like to visit.
Example: I would be there soon.

Will is indicative. Stating a FACT.
I will be there soon.


Would is subjunctive. Stating thoughts or beliefs, or hypothetical statements.
I would like to visit.

It makes me twitch inwardly whenever I see or hear it.
Thanks Meiya, what of shall and should, can u pls tell me about the two words also?

Marc9: U need to rush back to ur english teacher for update.

Who told u there's no such word as "matured? Did u fall frm the sky or what? smiley

There is matured but not as an adjective....a mature beer, mature talk...........Helping verb/verb-Past tense and participle...the babe has matured ...The pear matured a week ago.
