Bobby, you have lots of low-hanging fruit in SI if you like correcting usage. <I find that I have little to say and regret that I jumped on what was only a chance to correct your usage.> I'll take it as a compliment that you bothered to correct mine. But why regret it? I appreciate being put on the right track - the main purpose of SI and am happy to help others get on the right track, though for some strange reason, many people dislike being corrected = it must be pride and envy.

ElM and Gib are normally confused and need all the help they can get.

How about these whorey old chestnuts:

I could care less instead of couldn't care less.
Viola instead of voila.
Tow the line instead of toe the line.
Apostrophe's all over the place.
Empathy when they mean sympathy.
