I know no one likes a grammar-Nazi schoolmarm. But I still kind of love finding grammatical (our punctuational) mistakes in writing that completely change a sentence's meaning. Case in point — this question on my assignment today:
How do side effects of Paxil effect consumers buying potential?
I didn't know that consumers could buy potential. Where can I find some? And how much does it cost?
Yes, that made me laugh. Yes, I thought I was clever when I spotted it. Yes, I spotted the wrong "effect," too, for anyone else who noticed.
And yes, I'm a TOTAL nerd.

hahahaha ...
I was asking for it.
