Amusing Grammar Slip

Mediabistro, a paywalled website for writers, recently posted the transcript of a seminar on grammar. I read through it — it’s all stuff I know, unfortunately — and noticed this sentence in the section on pronoun agreement: “The next example is probably my favorite because I didn't make it up. I get silly text messages from Virgin Mobile for their promotional crap, and it had a lot of errors in it. ”

I know it’s just a transcript. It may even be what the teacher said. But that particular sentence in that particular section tickled me.
