How not to write the way dumb people think smart people write
"bailing wire" It's actually baling wire. This used to be the stiff steel wire that held hay or straw bales (no i) together. Since it was common on the farm, baling wire came in handy for the kind of repairs that non-farmers would use a piece of coat hanger for today.
copyright protection is a legal concept, not a DRM system. A DRM-free copy is not "without copyright protection."
"free reign" Should be "rein." Or better yet, get off your horse before you fall off and rewrite the sentence without the cliché.
"half mast/half staff A flag is only at "half mast" when it's on a ship or at a naval facility. On land, it's half staff.
"more unique" Unique means one of a kind. Every unique thing is exactly as unique as any other unique thing. There's no such thing as more or less unique.
"under weigh" Either weigh anchor, or get under way, or use land-based words.
vocal chords A chord is a set of musical notes. A cord is a structure in the body.
