Which reminds me of a rant I had in mind way back - that OJ, and his publishers, SHOULD be jailed for the criminal misuse of grammar in his execrable book, "If I did it":

"The widely-condemned O.J. Simpson book and Fox TV special, in which the former football star speculates how he would have killed his ex-wife"

Note the hypothetical case. I know you lot are lazy about the past subjunctive but to allow it into print... It should be "If I had done it"
