Somehow, despite five repeats of the chorus (not all reproduced below — there are limits!), no-one noticed the spelling error here… or on several other websites.
Yet, as Chico Marx said in A Night at the Opera, 'There ain't no Sanity Clause!'
Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).
