Personally, I blame spell checkers and the lack of proof readers. They
disappeared yonks ago as a cost cutting measure.

Subject: atw: New Gerund ...
This is the first time I have seen "government" used as a gerund ...
"The caretaker Gillard government is expected to shortly announce the
appointment of John Howard's former chief of staff Arthur Sinodinos as another
adviser to they independent MPs who will decide who *governments* in a hung
parliament."

(... also an interesting use of the word "they", but we see plenty of smaller
typos in the press).
Neil.
