Does the run score or is it a timming play?

Nah, not you.

The sad part is as much as ASA is guilty of poor grammar, occasional misspellings and missing/extra words included in a sentence, it isn't much better among the masses outside of the rulebook world.

It is nothing to see a misused or misspelled word on the front page of a newspaper. It is routine for the professional "ace reporters" on the TV news, national and local, to butcher the English language. Even worse, I don't think they are aware of being incorrect/improper in their usage of many phrases or words!

Then again, graduate students submit papers in some classes that resemble those cute little e-mails with the jumbled words that your brain recognizes.

Yeah, yeah, I know it is not everywhere. But it is sad enough that this apathy toward educating the proper usage exists anywhere in our school system regardless of the level.

Okay, rant over.
