Lots of times when people say stuff like "convenient" they add a sort of "s" to the "t", making it sounds like "convenience". I don't really bother correcting people on their language in regular chat, but if they did that on paper... Well that's a whole different story. :p I think I'll just link them to this video, in the event that I ever see that.

That's a good point - I guess sometimes it's not a mistake, just their pronunciation.

Thanks Sarah, I use your videos in class. You're extremely popular with my students; Is that the soltaire(scottish flag behind you ?) Do you have scottish roots ?

Thank you! The flag on the left is the Acadia flag and the one on the right is the Nova Scotia flag. As for my roots, yes, I have scottish roots. I'm a fourth generation NZer. Some of my ancestors moved from Scotland to NZ - the others were from other parts of the UK. Maybe England, Ireland ... not quite sure.
