I'm very sorry you took my comment as sniping; that wasn't my intention at all.
I was pointing out the mistake because I found it to be a very interesting mistake — as I hope is conveyed in the link I gave — nestling in your otherwise exemplary written English. In fact, it caused me to momentarily question whether it was I who had got that idiom wrong for all these years.
- kls 16y agoNo problem, I jump the gun on this one a lot and I apologize for that, if it was not your intent. I just get the crap beat out of me by grammer nazis all the time and if I could fix the issue I would, but no amount of people pointing it out is going to fix it. I have worked and worked at it for years (it's one of the major reasons, I post). But just as I will never, no matter how much I stive to, know my right from my left, or be able to accurately estimate the elapse of time, I will also overlook and substitute wrong words in written form. It's really, really frustrating to be intelligent with a language disability and I get really pissy about it some times, for that I am sorry.
