You're right about ignoring most of the English mistakes. But you are a kinder and gentler person than I. I usually do ignore them. But some of them are like nails on a blackboard and I just have to respond!

Hey-I'm from Virginny and we say "went off on" all the time. It's not right?

Do you say, "I have went off on"? My point here being the verb form ("went" instead of "gone"), not the expression "went off on."

P.S. When you say the same word over and over again, does it sometimes sound like nonsense? Because that's what's happened to me with "went."
