Introducing: Fake ID Patrol

You'll be ticketed by the Fake ID Patrol if we catch you trying to masquerade as something you're clearly not.

Specific examples of Fake ID violations include the following:
- a dependent clause caught attempting to pass for a full-grown sentence
- an adjective caught attempting to pass for an adverb
- Notre Dame caught attempting to pass for a national title-contending football team

Introducing: Drunken Proofreading

Drunken Proofreading is a pretty simple concept. Pretty much every item that qualifies for this blog involves some degree of Drunken Proofreading because every one of these grammar mistakes should have been caught by a proofreader/editor before the copy went out. But they're not, so we get to have fun. Drunken Proofreading items can run the gamut from a simple spelling mistake to what we call AutoCorrect Syndrome (where the word that appears is an actual word but is clearly not the word that the author intended to appear), or it can be something as dramatic as the egregious violation of several grammar rules simultaneously. Here's the rating guide:

Drunken Proofreading rating guide:
* (one star) - Taking a little nip now and then. What? It's been a stressful day!
** (two stars) - Had one too many beers at lunch! What? You say I'm not supposed to drink on my lunch break?
*** (three stars) - I needed a shot just to look myself in the mirror this morning.
**** (four stars) - Yesh, I take thish waterbottle everywhere I go. It'sh water. No, you can't have any.
