974.0. "Raised to the ground" by CALS::THACKERAY () Fri Jun 05 1992 07:59

    I hate it when people write: "Raised to the ground".
    
    The correct spelling, of course, is "Razed". 
    
    I see this one a lot in newspapers.

    Do you prefer buildings to be razed or raised?  Burned up or burned
    down?
