"Global warming is ... a hoax. It is probably not ...man-made ... or potentially catastrophic,"


Genie, you misimplied00000000000000000000000000000 (Sorry, archy is editing)the reasoning there. I'm sure you meant to indicate that William Shatner was present.

archy, my cat, named before I rescued his then 12-year-old self, is coal black (with 14 white hairs on his chest, never gets his name spelt correctly. It is surprising how many people never saw the play.

The error that bothers me most, I think, is 'effect/affect'. It is true that in psychology 'affect' is used differently so maybe that is why some people are mixed up about it, but in normal use its misuse seems so egregious to me I have to consciously turn off my fix-it button to get past it.

Oh, yeah- and 'very unique'.
