   Reminds me of what happened to someone in our Church (The Church of Jesus   
   Christ   
   of Latter-day Saints). This guy was taking an English class and one assignment   
   was to collect a certain number of  grammatical errors he heard people make.   
   Now   
   you have to understand that we have no professional clergy, regular members are   
   asked to speak in church, usually different people each week. Well, one speaker   
   started his sermon and our English student thought he would get his entire   
   quota right there, the guy just butchered the language. Result: he did not   
   record a single error from that talk. The speaker spoke by the power of the   
   Holy   
   Ghost to the point that our student could pay attention to nothing but the   
   message and the feeling of the Spirit.
