Both are clearly wrong, just like misspellings, so they must be ignored for purposes of finding counter-examples. It would help, though, if you could cite a source for these misguided abuses. Erik Naggum @2004-296 -- Act from reason, and failure makes you rethink and study harder; act from faith, and failure makes you blame someone and push harder. In a fight against something, the fight has value, victory has none; in a fight for something, the fight is a loss, victory merely relief.
