The plane was "taxing"?

Anyone who has flown on a plane is probably familiar with this sense of the word of taxi: "to cause (an aircraft) to move along the ground under its own power, esp before takeoff and after landing" (Collins).

Much like the verb "to ski", I think the past tense should have two i's.  (Collins agrees: "Word forms: taxies, taxiing, taxying, taxied".)

A comprise-heavy budget

"Comprise" is a verb (only), meaning to include to be composed of.  The intended word was probably "compromise".

Not against state statue

This looked like an obvious error at first -- surely, "statute" is the intended word.  But I Googled "Kansas statue" just to be sure that the state's laws don't in fact come from a law-giving statue.  While I found no evidence of this, I did find a news story describing a controversial sculpture as a "statute"!

Could it be that "statue" and "statute" have reversed meanings in Kansas?  Maybe laws in Kansas really are made by inanimate objects -- after all, this is the state that tried to repeal evolution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_evolution_hearings

Undermining my vocabulary self-confidence even further, other news stories also quote the spokeswoman as using the word "statue", but maybe that's because the original source got it wrong.  In the end, I'm sticking with calling this an error.
