			Again, thanks for all of the enlightening posts, as this tin ear has learned a lot about how this notorious phrase can sound. 
 
But what if, and yes, this is a big if ... but what if the phrase is just a typographical error?  What if a word were misplaced, mistaken or left behind entirely?

- I have had a hard life and a long one. 
 
- etc 
 
Just saying.
