Ware and tare

Found online: Being a star at running back in the NFL comes with the ware and tare of the carries of multiple seasons.

Sorry, but I think that would be wear and tear, not ware and tare.

That faucet of his game

Found online: The knock on Miller is his poor pass blocking skills. It will be interesting to watch his development in that faucet of his game.

I hope the writer meant facet rather than faucet. Sounds too leaky to me. Also, I'd write pass-blocking skills.


From the same story: But the team also has other capable options whom compliment Wallace’s skill set quite well.


It would be who complement.


Also found online: I just found a thing on CBS.com about the Greatest Superbowl Commercials. Wonderful.


Except it's the Super Bowl, not the Superbowl.
