Don't get me started on the way people misuse "bring" and "take".  Makes me crazy.  :-)

Hi David,

Over here Graffiti still means the same thing it always did but the person
that does it has some sort of image or symbol they use instead of their
name, so they can claim credit with other graffitists (?) and that's known
as their 'tag'.

Regards

Daniel

Yep, English standards have slipped and I see written mistakes that you
would once never see other than if written by a young child.  'Course with
English often the meaning of a word is in the spelling but it is spoken the
same (stationery and stationary).  One thing I like to catch is where
somewhere calls an abbreviation an acronym!
