Oh, up on #895, it is nit picking, not knit picking.

Nit: The egg of a louse or other parasitic insect. Louse nits can be seen on the head feathers of most martins and appear as tiny, white capsules. The lice that parasitize Purple Martins spend their entire life cycle on the birds and therefore, travel with them to Brazil and back each year, nestled among their feathers. Martins frequently engage in head scratching to relieve the irritation cause by the lice crawling there. ..

I had an extremely tough day yesterday, and later I realized that I typed knit for nit. So I said to myself, I betcha one of the libs will mention that.

And golleeeeeee, I was right.

For future reference, even when I'm not tired, I occasionally type your for your're, even though I know the difference.

(Just so you don't have to waste your time with that one. lol)
