Possible correction: It’s not sufficiently acknowledged that the behavior of public officials is not just an ethical issue but one that affects the sale of newspapers and commercial bytes in television news. When public officials don’t do what they’re supposed to do, then they’re sure to face the effects of public opinion—if they get caught— because there are dollars to be made. It’s that simple: money more than morality is calling the tune in the way that the press treats its superstars.

Comment: If you confuse similar words, the only solution is to memorize the differences and consciously check your drafts for any problems until habit takes hold.
