The curse of the english language is the spell checker with their blo*dy Z's instead of S's. It took me ages to restore words with s instead of z. Some at work think I'm crasy!
I have a Chief Pilot who keeps using robust in every sentence, Kids, sorry I mean children, who after years of Sesame Street abuse (well we had to shut them up somehow) now say Zee when it should be Zed.
We've got one of the richest languages in the world with plenty of words nicked from other peoples dialect after they invited us to invade their country and stay for a while; Khaki, camoflage, buckshee, pyjama etc etc do we really need holywood hard man phrases "go ahead punk" motherf**ker, butt. No I don't think so.
Boeing check list B727 after flap retraction required the NFP to call "Clean machine" not english is it.
