Being married to one who holds a PhD in English, I've become accustomed to watching my spelling and grammar. However, and I know we've had this discussion before, "preventative" is actually an acceptable "preventive" variant. Kinda like flammable/inflammable. The "maintains" still stands, though. If that's the worst infraction, it's not even in the same league with the typical CL ad copy we get down here in good ol' TN...
