Autocorrect and hitting a letter next to the one you intended to hit (dead vs deaf) are the main culprits. <br />But you can't get all the errors. The number of people who proof and approve a letter from the Premier is high, but even so there is somewhere a letter from Grant Devine with the phrase pubic service. <br />Having said that, I wonder if people even care anymore? I read comments like, if it can be understood, why worry? To me it is carelessness and speaks to carelessness in other things too.

Or that is a nice affectionate stray cat, you should feed it, affection is an emotional state or condition. <br /><br /> Effect is more a verb. As in we need some big changes around here, effective tomorrow all you cat-feeding libs better not be feeding any cats. We are going to effect some changes and clean this place up.

To be honest with yall, i think "whom" is on "its" way out. In my barbarous North American dialect, we just let "who" do twice the work.
