[english-usage-nazi]"fore" is for golf. "four" is a number. also see "here, here" vs. "hear, hear" (the second is correct)[/eun]

haha Toshi you should become an English teacher instead of a doc.

Golfing is a very dangerous sport, you should wear pads.

seriously, i should be an editor . the issue of Import Tuner i was reading last night had so many mistakes , like "elude" instead of "allude" for one...

I had CNN on in the background this morning, and must have said "that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!" at least 3 times.

My favorite was they were pumping up Time Warner's stock (their parent company) by touting Carl Icahn's big purchase of stock.

Beat me to it...

And don't forget "ensure" vs. "insure"

And of course the often seen "break" vs "brake" here on RM.......

Can't say I know too much about "Import Tuner." However, I can tell you that the old BMX magazine, "BMX Plus!" used to drive me crazy. It got to a point where I couldn't even read it.

The sad part was that it had basic mistakes: "then and than" and "your and you're." It was kind of sad knowing that someone had too give the magazine the "a-ok" before it went to print.

Effect vs. Affect. I aint never got that one kurect.

Yeah, I mean it's not a big deal if there are a few grammar errors. I know that these folks are under the gun to meet their deadlines, but when it's the same thing over and over, it gets old.
