The worst one I see in GD very frequently is "Please can I have some advise on", or other misuses of the word advise instead of advice.

I don't speak Latin but etcetera is an acceptable derivative of et cetera according to many language authorities.
Damn I wasn't hanging around here!!

I litterally couldn't care less about this sort of guff.

If the purpose of language is to allow one person to communicate something to someone else, as long as that person understands what is being communicated, why does it matter if the grammar is perfectly correct?
