POPSBang Mi? Top 10 Foodie Typos Haste makes waste. It can also make very entertaining typos. It takes a keen eye (or a Jay Leno Show intern) to spot the exceptional gem on a takeout menu or expose the unintentional comedy amongst rambling food metaphors.

POPSThe "death panels" are already here
Opponents of reform often seem to skip right past any problems with the current system -- but it's rife with them. A study by the American Medical Association found the biggest insurance companies in the country denied between 2 and 5 percent of claims put in by doctors last year (though the AMA noted that not all the denials were improper). There is no national database of insurance claim denials, though, because private insurance companies aren't required to disclose such stats. Meanwhile, a House Energy and Commerce Committee report in June found that just three insurance companies kicked at least 20,000 people off their rolls between 2003 and 2007 for such reasons as typos on their application paperwork, a preexisting condition or a family member's medical history. People who buy insurance under individual policies, about 6 percent of adults, may be especially vulnerable, but the 63 percent of adults covered by employer-provided insurance aren't immune to difficulty.

POPSOh I hate those Surveys As much as I dislike surveys, this was a very simple and small one. It just exemplifies what I have always believed to be true. Even with today's texting shorthand, and those annoying little 3 letter acronyms, it is still important to at least know how to spell words correctly when you need to. lol And, of course good grammar is always something I can appreciate.

POPSGood luck selling that "refridgerator" In the past fifteen years or so, I've also noticed that a lot more errors are showing up in print - newspapers and magazines. I attribute this to reporters' use of direct terminals to write stories. In less technological times, the editor and, perhaps, a number of copyreaders (copyboys in the old days - think Jimmy Olsen) had a chance to catch the obvious slips. As a last bulwark against typos, or sometimes a last source of them, were the human typetters who ran the Linotype machines. I can sympathize with the author at the source; At one point in my life I taught college composition and wallowed daily in the dregs of bad writing. In recent years, I've become more prone to typos thanks to nerve damage from an injury, and am mortified when a mistyped item escapes my notice before I click on the 'done' button. Hence, Jorjor's Law: Intelligent people make typographical errors; stoopid peepul dont no hau too spel.

POPSReally Review those Proofs This is a problem more common than you might think. Typos in phone numbers and websites addresses are problematic. I have know of entrepreneurs who had to purchase additional URL domain names because of misspelling. Remember to be careful.

POPSBack to 'Real' journalism? My local 'rag'--The Bozeman Daily Chronicle--just upped their price to 75 cents. This is laughable because they offer only one section of 8 pages of re-regurgitated AP crap, and sometimes throw a little poorly written local news in between the ads and typos. Lately, in obvious distress, they've trimmed syndicated columns and comics, raised the price of the Sunday edition, and added an adhesive sticker ad to the front page. Maybe if they had done something more radical like actually reporting on news, they wouldn't be struggling. They have no competition in this town! Anyone want to start a news paper?

POPSSOmething rotten in the state of Minnesota To put this change in perspective, that single precinct’s corrections accounted for a significantly larger net swing in votes between the parties than occurred for all the precincts in the entire state for the presidential, congressional, or state house races. Indeed, the 504 total new votes for Franken from all the precincts is greater than adding together all the changes for all the precincts in the entire state for the presidential, congressional, and state house races combined (a sum of 482). To many, it just seems like too much of a coincidence that Minnesota's one tight race just happens to be the race with the most "corrected" votes by far. But the real travesty will be to start letting election officials divine voter's intent. If you want to discourage people from voting, election fraud is one sure way of doing it.

POPSSocial Science is not Science "Their desire to hold on to that illusion causes them to resist many sorts of new information which conflict with their ideas. That is very human, but it ain't science. Indeed, what goes on in the social sciences would make for a fascinating sociological study." I have long held the view that social sciences are profound bullhockey, if I may use a technical term. If you research the foundations of these "disciplines" you will find that they are all based in a materialist foundation and seek to confirm that foundation through the masterful manipulation of descriptive and inferential statistics. It is time we recognize that sociology and much of the psycho-pop babble we are subjected to is nothing more than materialist propaganda.
