"Sincerely Your's" has been one of my favourite grammar guides ever and now she's followed it up with "Sincerely Your's II: Pirates of the Carribean".
My favourite entry, because I've been seeing this particular error a lot lately:
adverse/averseI think "commerical" might be more of a typo problem than a grammar one (I know I have an autocorrect entry for it) and I say "supposably" when I'm trying to channel Joey Tribbiani, but otherwise, I'm with her all the way.
"I'm not averse to the idea." NOT "adverse."

I actually had to stop reading that list of errors because I could feel them seeping into my head ... pernicious as they as.
It should be "Caribbean," not "Carribean." Oops!
You channelling who??
wahj > Oh dear, your typo is showing ;)
kungfuzi > Er ... the misspelled article title is deliberate. Scroll down the linked page to see the entry for, well, "Carribbean".
panaphobic > Hey, he's a worthy pop culture icon! Who's given us such gems as "supposably", "man-bag" and everybody's favourite pick-up line, "How you doing?"
arrgh ... see ... see!?!?! it's gets in your head! argh ...
