New Is it me or our Language Watchdog slipped?
"you sure seem to spend EXCRUCIATINGLY little attention to your language"

spend attention on?

pay attention to?

Of course, the irony of two non-native speakers talking about this is not lost on me. Not at all.

New Aaargh! You're prefectly right, of course. :-(
I could edit to correct it, but WTF, I'll let it stand -- partly because it's no biggie, partly because I wouldn't want to be seen as trying to cover up (impossible anyway, with the edit history available), and partly so as not to create an unneccesary LRPD that people (i.e, compulsive LRPDists like me :-) would feel they had to click and check out.

(And, hey, what irony? We gotta keep these stupid natives up to snuff, you and me, you know... :-)
