Stop Defacing Library Books!
I was sitting in the public library, reading a book from their collection, when I ran across this:
How wrong can you get? Defacing library books is petty vandalism, even for members of the self-appointed spelling and grammar police. What’s worse is that the book is correct as written; the “correction” is totally wrong. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, exorcised means "To clear (a person or place) of evil spirits; to purify or set free from malignant influences." There were no evil spirits around; the king was so displeased ("exercised") about the path the river might take that he had it diverted to remain in China. Do us all a favor, and read without a pencil.
