Misuse of loose and lose is one of my irritants.
I'm also not too crazy about hearing "me and my husband did this."
I do think we are seeing more people communicating in print (writing) then we did 10 or 15 years ago. It may only be tweets, facebook, texting or in forums, but I think there has been an increase in written communication and hence in word usage and grammatical errors.
If you really want to see fractured English writing, look up some letters written by Civil War soldiers. Like today, an increase in written communication existed among those who would not have written as much in different circumstances.
