It's that I cannot imagine living the life of a reporter who writes X thousand words per week and is barraged with people attacking his/her grammar. Though John appears to be getting plenty of heat from the actual content of his writing so maybe he welcomes such things. Normally I would just shut up and let you vent but you've hit upon my own personal pet peeve. Ah well, whether you are correct or not is not my point.

As an example, I was corrected by a specialist one time on whether or not I should wear my hat while pumping gas. I mistakenly thought that the thing covering the gas pumps was "overhead cover", and he pointed me to AR 670-1 and the 25th ID Blue Book, which both state that one must be indoors to remain uncovered, not "under overhead cover". He was right and I was wrong, but 8 out of 10 people thought like I did. Just because bunches of people think it is right does not make it right. "Literally" does not mean "not an exaggeration", it means that something is completely and unequivocally true, the opposite of figuratively. One cannot "literally" have a "hot start" unless it involves temperature or spiciness at the beginning of an event. But he was incorrect.

“Literally” does not mean “not an exaggeration”, it means that something is completely and unequivocally true, the opposite of figuratively. One cannot “literally” have a “hot start” unless it involves temperature or spiciness at the beginning of an event.

If I got an email like the one you sent I would probably cry like a girl. Oh wait... I’m sorry, but that’s about the best reporter response to a G.N. that I’ve ever read.

Fatboy totally misused the world "literally", which everyone knows is my worst pet peeve. I wrote him an e-mail to help him fix his problem with usage, so he wouldn't get in trouble with his editors in the future if he went to work for a real newspaper. See above for the text of the e-mail which figuratively shouts "tool" with every character of his response. I remember why I bitched about Fat John Tomasshole before.
