A Finger in the Dyke

Demonstrating the extent to which The Gay Agenda has, um, penetrated the American Psyche, Alec Baldwin wrote* in a blog piece:

Gore has been standing there with his finger in the dyke for some time now, patiently and insistently exhorting us to come to the aid of the ailing planet.

One suspects, of course, that he intended to write "dike".

    Ugh. And sometimes, obviously, "their" appears where the writer intended to key in "there."
