I decided a while ago that my life would be alot better[1] if I didn't get annoyed at misuse of English, but instead used it as a source of amusement. Oddities can be found everywhere... our hymn book at church has one nasty oops where a "not" is mistyped as "now", rather changing the sense of the sentence. And sometimes it doesn't even take a single letter of difference - someone who'd recently been doing all the touristy stuff around Europe was discussing the historical Battle of Thermopylae, and said "Some of us were there (pause) earlier this year" - several people began snickering in the pause. ChrisA [1] Bahahahaha, trolled you!
