B-english

The two spectacular examples of bad english I have come across recently.


Teacher: "All of my ex-students have passed away."
Student: "No ma'am. It's 'passed out'."

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/pass (click the link if u didn't get the two awful misuses in that one)



And


Me:"I need my suitcase back by tomorrow."
Shop Lady:"Ma'am I will try to deliver you."
Presumably meaning 'deliver it to you' and not show me a route to heaven or be the nurse at my birth.
