Grammatical error vs. grammar error.

Which usage is accurate?  Actually both are right. 

I know.  I have commented earlier that I will stop complaining.  However, I am just a cynical old lady who likes doing nothing but whining.  I am sorry to bore you with this.  Since blogging is a way for me to vent my frustration, you are then dragged along the roller coaster ride of my emotions.  I have tried several times to distance myself from answering questions for Yahoo Knowledge, the culprit of my mood swing.  I think that I probably didn’t try hard enough to cut down my frustration and complaints.

Anyway, so what’s all the fuss?  It is actually nothing new.  I am still waiting for a response from Yahoo Management regarding the suspicious usual suspects that might have conducted sock-puppetry and manipulated the votes.  Strangely, Yahoo Management seems to be on strike.  I haven’t heard a word from them for weeks.  Maybe I should just ignore those usual suspects.

一日為師, 終生為父

I would translate it as:

Set a thief to catch a thief.

This is an interesting proverb.  It may have a meaning of 以毒攻毒 “Fight poison with poison”. 

How to read complex sentence?

Many of you have trouble reading complex sentences and identifying the grammar errors.  The trick is the method of peeling onions, layer by layer.

行惡就是向老天貸款，享受就是向老天提款，人行善就是向老天存款。

Translation by Elisa (that's me):

The book that I recently read to my son was “C’est ta Faute!” by Evelyne Brisou-Pellen.  The storyline is pretty interesting.

C’est ta faute!
