After reading this story I wondered if perhaps Imelda Marcos might enjoy visiting this town.

I see that Via Magazine which is put out by the AAA people, must have the same gramatically challenged people on their editorial staff that the San Francisco Chronicle has. In their May/June issue on the events page they list Carnaval San Francisco where there will be dance, music and eats. Eats? That is a verb my friends, not a noun. Food is a noun. You cannot have a verb but you can have food to eat or you can have a house, a car or whatever but you cannot have an eat. The pink section of the Sunday Chronicle does the same disservice to people trying to learn English by displaying same ignorance. Oh, I know they are trying to be cute, but get real folks. If people are so worried about English being spoken here with some desiring to make it the "official" language, how can you do that when so called educated people at Via and at the Chronicle can't even use the language correctly. I hate this.
