Impunity, Immunity
One reason I love my readers is that they take the time to tell me the following:
In two instances on Saturday you used an amusing eggcorn, "legal impunity", when you should have written "legal immunity". I googled the your version of the term and found only 12,500 references (one of which is from a November, 2006 entry on your own blog), whereas there are 114,000 results for the correct usage, including this wikipedia entry, which should help clarify your understanding.
Of course, I'm immune to pedantry. But you still punish me. While we're on the subject, I should have written transgender woman, rather than transgendered, apparently.
