no rocket surgery

Rocketshippeppermill2 As legal writing professors, we occasionally get into heated discussions on our listservs about grammar and usage. We aren't the only ones who get worked up about others' indelicate errors or downright awful transgressions. Following the recent Bashman/Posner debate about ostrich heads, the ABA Journal's blog asked readers to identify their pet peeves in grammar and spelling. If yours isn't there, add it.

I have to share one comment (#50):

"An example of my most dispised [sic] usage is 'The judge spoke to him and I.' What???  This is not rocket surgery!"  Scalpel
