Yesterday, as is a part of my typical routine, I scanned the Statesman Journal when I came across the headline that caught my attention only because of the grammar issue, and I grabbed a screen shot:
Curiosity being my middle name, I wondered whether the editors might have realized that they, too, had "affect" and "effect" messed up. Surprise, surprise, ... a corrected headline in place!
For some reason, the screen shot this time is warped; bad grammar = good shot?
Of course, I, too, am no good with the grammar. But, hey, that doesn't stop me from pointing fingers :)

"The Pubic problem" :):)
Having said that, the standard of English is certainly deteriorating. I'm afraid we are sounding as "exotic" as Shakesperean English these days.
