OMG, Did I write Follow? How hilarious indeed!
My spelling skills stink, and I rely heavily on spell checkers which I have
to train due to technical writing. I usually rewrite & proofread my
documents several times, so missing "Follow" humbles me. :):)
Another side note to our off Roadster digressions:
At work, my engineering team calls our CEO/owner "The Professor", as
he corrects all of our documents and grades them. It's often abusive, but
great! I work with many young bright engineers with non-English accents,
who need moderate to severe help in writing. We have Spanish, East Indian,
Chinese & Russian interpretations of English in our emails & documents. The
best part is we're trying to get ISO certified by the end of the year, so
we're going through every document to clean up English & technical errors.
It has brought up the fact that it costs real money for these errors. We pay
1.5 times for these documents. The authors time to create it & the
proof-readers time to fix it.

This is the most popular subject in years....
Walter, since you were proofreading, weren't you the "follow engineer"?
would he then be the lead engineer? :)
To err is human, but to make a spelling error while commenting on a
grammatical error is a classic. :):)
(I hope I spelled "err" correctly, that would be even funnier.)
Nancy will be deducting points.

in a report before he could send it out; and his mother is an English
