Accidental Email Funny

So I received another email today from an LU person trying to send something to Dr. Olson. This time, it was something humorous as it was a simple forward. Grammar Gestapo, this is more for your amusement although I was amused too (after reading it a second time :-p)

To: College & University Editors Subject: a new language

OK, this is not an editorial question ... but this was too good of an editorial slip-up to keep to myself.

>From a flyer I just received announcing the Ellmann Lectures in Modern
Literature, featuring Salman Rushdie:

"He was educated there, at Rugby School, and at Cambridge University before beginning a television career in Karachi, Pakistan, and then a professional writing career, first in English and now in New York."

New York: a new language? Discuss.
