I see that kind of thing happen occasionally. "Alot" and "alright" are two other mistakes that people should know better than to make. Thanks a lot for the bug in the coffee visual. I'll be thinking about that next time I make coffee. I've got one that tops that though. When I was younger, my mom opened a can of greens. Inside was a gigantic grasshopper, intact. This had to be a bug from a foreign country because they don't get nearly that large here. There was probably more bug than greens in the can. So gross!
