I stopped keeping this secret list of grammar and logic problems about ten years ago. I collected them from business documents I had to review while doing copy editing for executives at a very large oil company. Collecting them was fun at first, but the collection started to look like hundreds of mutant butterflies pinned to a deteriorated piece of styrofoam. A few individual specimens were interesting to study, but then I just started to feel sorry for them.
I'm about to print the whole list to the network shredder, but I pulled out a few of the more stunning examples to share with you.
