Do you have an example of British people misusing punctuation?

Most British people are perfectly aware of when to use a hyphen or comma.

We don't. We are perfectly aware that they are for different things.

A hyphen, or dash, is a perfectly acceptable punctuation mark.

We use both - quite correctly.

I don't think we do. Please give an example.
