This one had me scratching my head. It was also the most amusing comment directed to me on a moderated post in over 20 years of forums.

Did I really write "pubically"?

Total Freudian slip right there.

It looks like you really did. Sometimes the best way to keep a thread on track is to nip a casual misspelling in the bud.

So, while there may or may not be a Scuba Police, there certainly is a Grammar Police....

Negative, ghost rider. He was a spelling cop.

Back before I moved to New Mexico to be a ski bum, I worked in the Texas legislature. My last four years was as legislative director for a state rep. who was a member of the PUBLIC education committee. We in the office had to type that word a lot. After an intern replied to an e-mail from a local paper and accidentally dropped the "L" I had the IT department remove the word PUBIC from spell check on all the computers in the office so it would indicate misspelled any time someone typed it.
