Some I've noted. No its not irritating etc - just amusing how many have used these "incorrectly" and I'm guessing the latter won't even be true in another decade or so - quite like "prepone".

• loose/lose
• voila/viola
• off the mark/of the mark (and similar contexts) [ The Outlook's latest issue has this too! ]
• advice/advise [ of course used interchangeably :) ]
• consist of/comprise [ I've been corrected to "comprise of" instead of comprise, in a doc! ]

If you know more - comment maadi.

The one thats become popular already, and does get my goat :

• my bad (my bad what ?)

Then there's the very Bangalorean

• by the by

which is both a little irksome and a little cute.

[ Oh well, I'm probably just getting old :) ]

Seriously, language is a dynamic, living organism. Nothing proves it like these changes as more populations adopt one. So Messrs Wren & Martin, stop turning in your graves.

Edit:

Part of the reason (the more recent trigger being the Outlook) was this thread on BikesZone, where I added:

Advice for Advise ?
Which the Verb, which the Noun,
"Stadiums" reprimanded
"Prepone" gets a frown!
Ah the English Nazis march,
Hup-one-two-three
Love Queen's Desi tho
Want to break free.
