Ah, a fellow pedant!  :-)

Like me you are probably equally irritated by 'insecure' as opposed to 
'unsecured' computers, 'license' (the verb) being used instead of 
'licence' (the noun), 'seperate' and 'definately' being continuously 
mis-spelled, to name but a few...  ;-)

I'd say 'bog standard' has safely secured it's place in the modern 
vernacular by now though.  *sigh*  I have to admit that one was news to me.
