Baghad->Baghdad (1) --Babedacus (talk) 14:31, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
"is been" -> "is being" or other (153, a few of which weren't sortable!) - PamD (talk) 11:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
"was been" -> "was", "has been", "was being", etc (181, some not sortable, including a verified quote from CBS who should know better!) - PamD (talk) 11:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
"would of" -> "would have" (except where it's "would, of course/necessity" etc!) 34 hits (excluding "would of course"), 7 to fix now fixed. PamD (talk) 11:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
"could of" ->"could have" - checked, but almost all are legit "collected what they could of the remains..." or direct quotes. A couple sorted out. PamD (talk) 12:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
"should of" ->"should have" - checked, only a few to sort out... including a nice little bit of vandalism undiscovered since October! PamD (talk) 12:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
masive->massive (10)LilHelpa (talk) 21:36, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

"must of" ->"must have" - just 8 to fix, mostly typos for "most" rather than grammar problems! PamD (talk) 13:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
"are been" -> "are being" etc - 27, most of them fixed, some unintelligible and tagged for cleanup. PamD (talk) 16:21, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
"were been" -> "were", "had been", "were being" etc - 63, mostly fixed, some unintelligible and tagged. PamD (talk) 22:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
