Language Repair Woman.

I'm in marking hell again where I'll spend the rest of the weekend.

Again, I find myself in the face of odd linguistic choices and I'd like your input on them. Sometimes these are genuine grammar issues, but most often it's about the subtleties of usage.

The following sentences all somehow rub me the wrong way and in some cases I know where the mistake is, but haven't got a clue how to fix them.

Thanks and bonus points for finding out which play my students had to discuss!
