My dad and/or sister would both likely enjoy that.
Here's one for you... when writing fiction, what do you do if you know your character would be more likely to use the incorrect word (thinking particularly of who/whom, but there are others)? At least on this side of the pond, people are less likely to say "whom" while speaking than they would writing, and I can't put "whom" in my barely-educated laborer's mouth, it just wouldn't happen.
