LOL. Typo in post hardly equates with the aforementioned syntactical butchery in an official letter to Main Justice. In any event, mea culpa.

Indeed! I can let a misused homonym ("seen of the crime"), an accidental Malapropism ("Wall Street typhoon"), or a Spoonerism (e.g., "White Horse souse") by without a comment - they're totally forgivable, since in most cases the "culprit" is guilty only of haste. The same is true of banal typos.

But illogic in official letters?! And willful, self-serving illogic?

Fail!

Regards,
