I think I'm starting to notice these errors all the time now, even without intentionally searching for them - as with this one. I was just reading a news article for the information as opposed to scouring it for errors and came across these 2 errors:
"I truly believe government is being too restrictive in his particular matter," said Robert Jackson, a Harlem Democrat. "It's a totalitarian society that's going to have this type of restrictions." See the full article here
Error number 1 is definitely a typing error as I'm sure the speaker would have actually said 'in this particular matter' rather than 'in his particular matter' as written above.
Error number 2 - I'm not sure whether this is a typing error again or whether Robert Jackson said it this way. The last sentence should ideally read "It's a totalitarian society that's going to have this type of restriction" (without an s on the end) OR "It's a totalitarian society that's going to have these types of restrictions" (which requires a few additional changes).
We will never know the answer to error 2 but I won't be losing any sleep over it :)
