Unfortunately, such errors aren’t confined to blogs written by semi-literate, drug-addled, narcissistic toadies still living with their parents while pretending to look for a job. You can find gaffes in any media. In my state the Dept. of Health keeps hauling out a public-service announcement every year during flu season, even though the spot has adequate evidence of idiocy in it. The ad says you can get the flu by coughing, kissing, holding hands, talking, etc. — which is patently untrue! You get the flu by being EXPOSED TO THE FLU VIRUS, which can happen through the afore-mentioned routes of transmission, but if you were isolated in a germ-free environment and talked, coughed, laughed, sneezed, or whistled Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata all day and night you wouldn’t catch the flu because you did those things!

I have many other examples I could cite, but you probably already wish I’d shut my yap. (grins)

Thanks.
