I Stand Corrected

Of late, I've been seeing this phrase being used in our company internal foums quite often. A member of staff would start off a post with the statement "I stand corrected", then go on to tell everyone how he (it tends to be a guy) feels something should be done, with nary any reference to how he was wrong.

"I stand corrected" basically means "I have been proven wrong". What these people meant to say, however, is "I stand to be corrected". As in, "I believe the procedure is this-and-such-a-way, but correct me if I'm wrong".

Can't they just keep things nice and simple?

I found my old blog template!

And I actually reverted back to it. For a grand total of 2 minutes. After all this time of simplicity, I think I like my blog the way it is now, save for some minor changes that could be made here or there.
