RTE's Ray D'Arcy is one of the many who get it wrong

In An Irishman's Diary in Saturday's Irish Times Frank McNally writes a funny piece about the use of language, better said, its misuse. Well worth a read.

Ray D'Arcy on his show yesterday said: "... a gun could have went off..."

On a religious/Father Ted style blog: "Fr's X and Y"

Ouch.

I think D'Arcy's version is hallowed by use at this stage.
