One small word!

After 57 days " the invisible man" opens his mouth and puts his foot right in it!

"We care about the small people."

One "small" word used wrongly, and the CEO of BP is in even hotter water. I suppose that a "big" person like him doesn't think to run what's he's going to say past a native speaker.

Gary and I could have saved him a lot of grief. Thank goodness he didn't say "We care about the little people". Then we'd have though he was talking about leprechauns and had really lost the plot!
