in primary school, our teacher taught the whole class - kids aged about 6 - that the word "friend" was spelt "freind" - to the point that if we spelt it correctly, she would actually cross it out with red pen and alter the spelling. eventually, it was noticed by our parents, who - while waiting in the playground to collect us - must have discussed the fact that their kid was struggling to spell "friend", and suddenly made the connection that all the children in the class had the same issue.I am usually not that bothered about grammatical errors, but it irritates me when teachers make them. Your greengrocer’s apostrophe and incorrect use of “their” isn’t the end of the world, but at least take extra care when you’re working with kids. They’re trying to learn from you!

Similarly when people pronounce 'the' as 'thee' when it's not a word beginning with a vowel. Is this an American thing??I keep hearing people say 'a' (prounounced 'ay') instead of 'an' when the next word begins with a vowel, for example: we're going to ay event tonight.
