It’s a modest mistake. I see a general overall decline in proper grammar and abused words in the media. Even the big Media like NYT, WP, CNN et al.
I see a lot of misconstructions that lead me to believe Groucho shot an Elephant in his pajamas.
Why decimate some poor elephant?
"How he got in my pajamas I don't know..
So I tried to remove the tusks but they were in there too tight. So I took him to Alabama...where the Tusk-a-loosa."
I loved watching the Marx brothers and their movies in the old days. We really need a spokesperson in the White House like Groucho. He'd get the media people with their panties twisted in a knot. But it seems President Trump is doing a fair job of that.
