Pompous, perhaps. But vainglory implies some sort of unwarranted pride in one's accomplishments. For heaven's sake, I work in marketing - what is there to be proud of?

re edit: bugger. Will the vintner take it back? I know that doesn't address the immediate problem but would at least allow you to savour it another time...

Unfortunately I doubt whether either the vintner will take back your bottle or the OP will take back his opening and indeed following statements, on the grounds of "oh well sh*t happens".

Maybe you could teach us all Katespeak?
I think its called honest spelling mistakes or not.....personality rules

Personality rules indeed, but its more than that. Honesty by itself doesn't make for good reading necessarily. Someone else could write about the same things as Kate and it just wouldn't be the same.

I think she should have a newspaper column. I would read it.

Yes .........Kate says what she thinks and thinks what she says. In my book thats honest...........And she is blessed with a great personality........but if you care to read the response to some of her early posts...then you will see sometimes personality gets over looked.

I don't believe it's correct, but it's certainly common. I remember being taught in school that it was incorrect.

Unfortunately, it's one of those things that becomes so over-used that it becomes accepted.

Oh my goodness. This thread seems to have jumped from a mere spelling mistake to an all and out grammar war!
Whilst I myself have nothing against the odd spelling mistake, believing most of them to be just a quick written typing error, I do however admit to a perosnal dislike of OF instead of HAVE.

How about "unthaw" to melt ice?

Talk about an oxymoron.
