Many Eyes, Shallow Bugs, and Spider-Man 191
Danious writes Seems
Spider-Man is clocking up 'bugs' at
movie-mistakes.com faster than any previous movie (now 95 and counting). The reason, according to this Independent article, is not that it may have more mistakes than usual, but that 'huge numbers of people are going to see it - and that makes for lots of pairs of eyes checking every inch of the screen.' The top movie is currently 'The Matrix' with 147." A lot of the bugs simply aren't really errors, and I'm sure the comic book guys out there can debate them.

Doug: In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a [the three nerds chuckle] magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Homer: I'll field that one. Let me ask you a question. Why would a man whose shirt says "Genius at Work" spend all of his time watching a children's cartoon show?

At least look it up first. "Storey" is a fairly common, albeit somewhat old-fashioned, spelling for the word that means a level of a building. This is as distinct from "story," meaning a tale. "Storeys" is an accepted word, found almost exclusively in the UK, for what us Americans would most likely call "floors."
The worst kind of nitpicker is a mistaken nitpicker.
