As if the previous post wasn't enough, the XFX page uses the wrong word in their voting system. When you click on "vote for me", a new window pops up with the text, "To insure fair votes, please insert the letters and numbers shown in the image."
To be fair, "insure" and "ensure" have the same definition, so under the most technical standards, it might be correct. But in that usage, "ensure" is clearly a better choice. And to answer your questions: yes, I'm willing to resort to technicalities if it makes me seem grammatically superior.
This post also serves as foreshadowing for an upcoming LANDodger article. You'll just have to trust me.
