Grammar Police - Vice Mystery Cache

A position frequently espoused by journalists and orators maintains that because English is a dynamic and living language, strict adherence to rules governing expression of the language stifles creativity, conveyance of meaning and subtle inference. However, formal writing, while occupying an ever diminishing niche, is entrenched as the premier showcase of correct grammatical standards. Authors and speakers have an obligation to thoroughly comprehend those standards before deciding when and for what effect rules might be altered. To allay linguistic chaos aggravated by indolent and vernacular usage, the Grammar Police stand sentinel. Grammar Police believe that less common errors, such as the ones in this exercise, are more difficult to detect, and are less criminal than those which should never be missed.

DIRECTIONS: The paragraphs below contain errors. Brush up on your grammar, spelling, punctuation and more because you will need to find all of the mistakes to correctly derive the final coordinates to the cache. In the spirit of fair play, “cachers” is not considered to be an error. In a single-spaced document, a double space between paragraphs is proper form. If an error continues on to the next line, count it as one error, and count both lines as containing that error. In other words, the second line is not error free. The last word of the puzzle is "cachers."

As you find errors, list them by type of error rather than the error itself. This will help avoid confusion in working out the cache coordinates. Some error types are listed below. The types suggested may or may not be found in the paragraphs.

Incorrect word usage -- This will not insure [ensure] that you find the cache.
Sentence fragment -- All but six of them.
Punctuation error -- George w[W]ashington; our's [ours]
Heterograph error -- Your [You're] out!; to [too) much work; whether [weather] forecast
Spelling error -- lisence [license]
Double negative -- Don't never [ever] come here!
Incorrect verb tense -- I seen [saw] how it was accomplished.
Subject/Verb agreement -- The sweater shrunk [shrank] when it was washed.
Misplaced modifier -- The car is in the garage which he wrecked. [The car he wrecked is in the garage.]
Faulty or misleading sentence structure -- She looked at the skinny puppy with sad eyes. [Did she look with sad eyes, or did the puppy have sad eyes?]

<< SECTION ONE >>

01....... The officer named on the storyboard at this site was one of the soldiers who were honored
02..at the White House after the Civil War. His defense of the low ground on this side of the river
03..had a greater affect on slowing the enemy advance then any other single action during the
04..chilly month of April that year. Try and envision the problems both armies encountered
05..throughout the battle! To the officer, leaving the ford undefended meant jeopardizing
06..a valuable supply train barely a mile further across the fields. Beyond the river, the enemy
07..could not find cover nowhere. The best plan the discouraged Confederates could manage
08..was to lay in the short grass and slowly crawl forward. Because they were growing singly and
09..well back from the riverbank, troops could not use trees to shield an advance toward the
10..water. Thus, a long delay in obtaining their objective and more time for the major’s supply
11..wagons to reach safety.

12.......Although this cache is on private property, it was placed with permission. There is enough
13..parking to accomodate three or four vehicles. Remember that this is an historic area. It is alright to
14..explore, but please respect the property. Look for an ammo can filled with childrens’ prizes and some
15..useful items for older cachers.
