A few years back, I coined the acronym "TWSTIRR". It's pronounced just like "twister" and means This Week's Sign That Illiteracy Runs Rampant. The title is a take-off on a little sidebar that used to run in Sports Illustrated every week, titled This Week's Sign that the Apocalypse is Upon Us. Their notes were about odd, somewhat unbelieveable but true events/statistics and the like from the world of sports. TWSTIRRs, on the other hand, are observations of horrendous spelling, grammar, punctuation, logic, etc. that I stumble upon.

You'll notice that I've got a TWSTIRR category here, so I'll try to make use of it as I have opportunity. Here's the first official blog entry of its ilk:
