RE: 20 words – infinite errors

Ms. Vennochi,

“As Paul Newman said at the climax of “Cool Hand Luke”
‘What we have here is a failure to communicate’.”

#1 – Paul Newman never said that.
#2 – The warden said, “What we have here is failure to communicate”.
#3 – The difference – a – is enormous.
#3 – Climax? My, my. Movies end. Movies stop. Movies never “climax”.

The aforementioned 20 words have earned you a special year end award.

“SEMI-LITERATE MARE’S ASS OF THE WEEK”

Congratulations and a truly non-denominational Season’s Greetings to you.
