I know I'm pissing into the wind here, but I feel it's my annoying duty to point out:

Swag = free promotional items
Schwag = brown pot

Thank you, Nex, I too hate it when people misuse words. Especially wannabe journalists.

Hey there djxo, aim your praise at Commenty Colin. He's the one who felt SMirk deserved a stern reprimand for communicating in a fashion that might upset some theoretical professor Colin once had.

I'm the guy supporting SMirk's right to carry pictures of Reba McEntire.

I agree that we should make a concentrated effort to keep the 'swag' separated from the 'schwag' or we'll all end up smoking shitty mexican promotional items.

I dunno about the schwag vs. swag debate, guys.

The Freakonomoics guy uses "schwag" - I'm going to go with him on this one because he's a celebrity.
