					<description><![CDATA[&quot;But you said&quot; is what my wife claims when I help her with her homework. She is a Thai taking English as a second language. 

&quot;But what you wrote makes no sense.&quot; I reply in exasperation. I have told her hundreds of time to ask herself if what she is writing makes sense - still she doesn&#039;t. 

Obviously multiplying a result by a normalizing factor would only be done once, twice makes no sense. Once you have converted kilo&#039;s to pounds, you have converted kilo&#039;s to pounds. Only one application of 2.2 pounds per kilo makes sense.  Judges often drive me nuts as being so stupid.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A.W. The last time I checked, Dickens was an English novelist!

Reformation is an equitible remedy. In order to convince a judge to reform the contract because of a &quot;scrivener&#039;s error,&quot; the proponent of reformation must show by clear and convinvcing evidence that there was a mutual mistake as to the contents of the document and that it would be inequitible to enforce the contract as written.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It reminds me of a scene on the simpsons.

Burns is showing them around his mansion and he shows them a room where a hundred monkeys are typing on a hundred typewriters.  &quot;Soon they will produce the next great american novel.&quot;

So then he reads one sheet and it says, &quot;it was the best of times, it was the...  BLURST of times!&quot;  And he starts yelling at the monkey for the typo.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s a single typographical error in a 105 page ERISA plan.  I don&#039;t much sympathize with either inside or outside counsel (who were paid or were billing exorbitantly, among other things, &lt;em&gt;just to catch such typos&lt;/em&gt;) but I understand.

The eyes glaze over after a certain amount of time on such a document.]]></description>
