Obviously, no rant about spelling and grammar is complete without 
both the author's embarassed realization of errors made and the 
nitpicking reader's discovery of extremely minor, yet amusing

I believe that chicken is "marinated," not "marinaded," although it 
is confusing because the stuff we marinate-with-a-T our chicken in is 
called marinade-with-a-D.  Of course, different countries do things 
differently, so I am willing to concede the vague possibility that 
although Americans marinate, Australians may well marinade.
