Question: Question: If I were to try to achieve something you could say I "had a go". If I tried it multiple times, how would I write that down? I had many goes or I had many go's or I had many gos 
Answer: Not what the OP intended... The noun go (a Japanese board game) has the English plural gos. Perhaps one could even say "I had a go" with this meaning.

Answer: no


Question: Question: How can I explain to people that the phrase off of is grammatically incorrect? I've heard this phrase used a lot, especially by Americans (though they aren't the only ones). In my understanding, off of should usually be replaced by off, as in, I took the book off the shelf as opposed to I took the book off of the shelf Am I wrong? Or is there perhaps some simple way I can explain this to most people? 
Answer: How can I explain to people that the phrase "off of" is grammatically incorrect? You can't, because it's not. There are thousands of examples of "off of" in the Corpus of Contemporary American English, not just in spoken English, but in magazines, newspapers, and academic journals as well. "Off of" is well-established as standard in American English. Plain "off" may be stylistically preferable in many cases, but it is simply not a rule of English grammar that if a word could be removed it must be removed. Some people seem to think that such a rule exists. It does not.
