Just been watching "Silent Running", the eco scifi film from way back when...when the Bruce Dern character is about to blow himself and the ship up at the end, he is setting the nuclear detonators and I noticed they have written on them (a la Batman/batcave style) "Nuclear Detornators"...

I guess had I not been watching this in HD I wouldn't have noticed :D

My wife finds errors all of the time in books. One book had an entire paragraph repeated.

I've been hitting the library up a lot recently and you'd be surprised at the number of errors that seem to make it past proofreaders and editors. Especially in 1st Editions.

I saw a sign at ASDA yesterday that said "we use less bags".

FEWER bags, you cocks! The word you are after is FEWER!

It's because of the Internet.

words like "shinny" for shiny, "comming" for coming, "loose" for lose are common here.

I know it's not just sticky keyboards either...

the World Wide Web and Text Messaging are killing Language and Grammar.
