There’s another vandal out there!
Location: Rest Stop, Pennsylvania Turnpike
Vandal, if you’re out there, I love you, love you, love you very much.
And I hate when people mix up ensure and insure!
From the AP:
ensure, insure
Use ensure to mean guarantee: Steps were taken to ensure accuracy.
Use insure for references to insurance: The policy insures his life.
It’s starting to happen.
Let’s take over!
Thanks, Jeff. Check out his blog.
You may already know this, but Lynne Truss, the author of Eats, Shoots and Leaves, has been recommending grammar vandalism. It’s a fun book, although grammar rules for American English and British English differ.
