Subject: Re: BMW's are little bitch cars


You are correct. 21/7=3 so 23/7 has to be LESS than one error for every three words, not MORE than one error for every three words. The eighth error that I originally found was "panzies". If Morgan intended on calling people the flower, he should have spelled it "pansies". If his intention was to use the slang term "panzies", I have no way of confirming if the spelling is correct or not, so I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. I originally counted 8 errors and forgot to go back to fix it.
