Nah, it happened because he tried to do it from memory and screwed up. Period!

O Tempora, O Mores

Splitting infinitive phrases.
Adjectives where adverbs belong.
Newscasters improperly emphasizing the preposition.
Incorrect punctuation in posts.
Sentences ending with prepositions.

Alas goes a society's regard for grammar, so goes its morals. Cf. Rome.

These are errors up with which I'd prefer not to put.

I read this quickly and thought you posted, "Incorrect pronunciation in posts". That would be hard to determine.
