Kris,

What is the name of the syndrome, rule, law, etc. that describes a person
making a grammatical or spelling error in correcting the error of another?
I believe you mentioned it sometime back, and I needed it today in one of
the threads here. Well, I *wanted* it, just to be tacky. As one who
habitually corrects others, I appreciate the concept of that "law."

Linda

Skitt's Law
Expressed as "any post correcting an error in another post will contain at
least one error itself" or "the likelihood of an error in a post is directly
proportional to the embarrassment it will cause the poster."

funny... how true... still funny.
