I Must Be Getting Old and Cranky

Is it just me, or is there an increase in pathetic misquoting of scripture out there? Has it always been this bad? Have I just never noticed? It started last Christmas when a Christian friend sent us an e-card. The scripture on the card was " He was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light". (John 5:35). Very nice, except that it's Christmas and the verse is talking about John the Baptist.
