I shouldn't chide anyone for grammar, but there is an almost universal error on the Internet (not just the Blogosphere), and coming soon to a book near you, that is driving me starkers. That is the misspelling of the past tense of 'lead'. The proper spelling is 'led'.
"Currently, I lead a quiet life. When I was younger, I led a raucous one."
I don't think I have read one source in the past year or so that has spelled this word correctly.
Mechanical spell-checkers, I guess.
