Kendall, it's even shown up in the crossword puzzles, too. I often come across improper grammar in them and it drives me nuts!

I had a very strict English teacher, Mrs. Worcester, who was also my Latin teacher, three years in a row. She was always pointing out popular culture's improper English. I will never forget her absolute disgust at the old slogan, Winston tastes good like a cigarette should. We went through all kinds of exercises in which she taught us it should be as.

Matt, I remember some while back you were pretty proud of your editing and grammar abilities; when we toot our own horn and then make a mistake, someone is bound to jump our ass. Have to learn to take it or be more careful.:-)
