Sometimes I just can't help myself...lol. I've seen "tortuous" and "torturous" for "tortious" so many times that I just had to say it.... These days spellchecks are the source of many spelling errors if the operator is either not a good speller or not paying attention. Dictation can also result in odd sentences if the sender is not paying attention when he or she signs documents. One that I received and never forgot involved a certain kind of motion called a motion for summary judgment, which allows a court to enter judgment as a matter of law on the papers so long as there are no triable issues of material fact. The letter stated something like: "We are going to look into the possibility of obtaining some rejudgment....." Still makes me laugh.
