Who knew, he is one of us. I think they meant "sows" however. They should be embarrassed.
I am so happy to see that I am not the only one bothered by incorrect spelling or misuse of words. My pet peeve is "your" in place of "you're" or the bothersome "they're, their, there". Don't they teach this in school anymore? Our newspaper is notorious for using incorrect grammar and incorrect spelling. My husband says he is going to apply for a job as proofreader for our local paper. They could not afford him, I'm sure! ;-))
