British English – “Make Sure To” vs. “Make Sure You”? How to Use Them Correctly

Neither; both sentences contain errors:

• 1 & 2: it should be human beings, not humans beings.

• 1 & 2: we does not begin with a capital letter, unless it's at the beginning of a sentence (or unless you're the Queen, referring to herself in very formal documents!)

• 1 & 2: as matter of style, I'd be inclined to separate the two clauses with a comma after beings.

• 1 & 2: unless you're an alien, comparing yourself to humans (as in we are like human beings), do you mean "as", rather than "like"?

• 1: it should be incur mistakes, not incur into mistakes

In terms of meaning, incur is typically used to refer to something which you bring upon yourself, e.g.:

If you submit your tax return after the deadline, you will incur a penalty.

So sentence 2 is probably closer to what you mean. With corrections, it should be:

As human beings, we make mistakes.

I'm sure the reporter knew perfectly well the implications of using to coin a phrase, and it wasn't an "ironic" usage in the sense that people say this when trotting out a cliche. It's a tichy (tongue-in-cheek) example of typical British understatement.

Barry Kilby (manager of Burnley Football Club) has said more than once that he wouldn't bet the ranch on the outcome of an upcoming game. The reporter is slightly niggled by this, since the standard (particularly in the UK) expression is bet the farm. She's even more niggled because we don't even have "ranches" in the UK - but we do have a preponderance of foreign (including American) managers of our football clubs.

Personally I think the reporter is taking two or three good-natured pops at what she sees as legitimate targets, while showing her own skill at writing by doing this in so few words.

Edit: Having not actually followed OP's link to the newspaper report itself until now, I've just somewhat sheepishly changed the gender of my pronoun references to reporter Suzanne Geldard.
