In an automotive forum (not the CD automotive forum!) somebody asked for advice regarding a noise that he hears when he releases his Toyota's break paddle.

My response included a request that he clarify whether we were discussing a problem with broken part on an Old Town canoe, or with a noisy brake system in his Toyota. Yes, I know that I'm not a nice person sometimes...

That person claimed to be a writer.
My almost 4 year old doesn't make this mistake. Sometimes people scare me. Have they ever been to school?

Another example of excellence in journalism from my local paper today.....

"Man killed in 1-car crash looking for fresh start in Fla."

This should fit in nicely with the current zombie craze.

From an online discussion of Ebola:

"i think quarantines are stupid and that there is no such thing as ebona its all a conspiracy"

This was clearly written by someone who is an expert in more than one academic discipline...
