And thanks for your patronage
The Central Ohio buro onpasses this delightful paragraph, from a correction* cataloged over at the excellent Regret The Error site:
The paper has printed an apology and has agreed to make a donation to a Christian group that helps prostitutes of which the Bishop is a patron.
I know we've already taken down the National Grammar Day decorations and dismantled the floats and all, but shouldn't that be "of whom"?
* The paper running the correction, to its credit, managed to avoid the antecedence issues: "Bishop Graham is a patron of the charity."

Oh, that's just lovely.
Thank you for a real laugh.
Aw, no need for thanks. As long as you said "Beat Dook" at all the right times.
