Hi,
>Isn't this all about English grammar?
Arguably so. I would say, it was just about some English words rather than
about English grammar as a whole...

punctuation:

Hmm, actually I was not the one who wrote that :)

Things like these all too easily occur in e-mail, I was a little bit
surprised that no one made a wise crack at a typo I made (which I did not
spot until reading my own message back). I was waiting for someone to call
the following typo on my behalf a Freudian slip:
"The case is that Erwin enocuntered some funny meanings of the word
"diaphragm". Much rather than its main meaning being indicated as a camera's
diaphragm (i.e. aperture), most dictionaries primarily mentioned the meaning
to be a contraceptive device."
Indeed: "...eno_c*nt_ered... ...contraceptive device." A funny typo in this
context :)
Cheers!
Olafo
