Anyways, you may be forgiven to understand “saving grace” as something that saves you from being a disgrace, supposing you fully understand what a total disgrace is.
This is a rather simplistic way to sum up, but I think you – and I – may very well be able to get away with it.
Here are recent media examples of “saving grace”:
1. The possibility of a 2010 climate bill in the United States is looking bleak but, ironically, the delay may emerge as a saving grace for climate legislation. Senate Democrats and Republicans are at an impasse on current versions of the proposed bill. However, according to analysts and industry insiders speaking at the first major post-Copenhagen energy and environment conference this week, a lack of enthusiasm for addressing emission reductions through the stick of EPA regulation may flip the negotiation dynamics in a positive direction.

2. Toyota has some 8 models in recall over this defective accelerator assembly; 4 million or so cars, worldwide. Hopefully, for them, they can fix the problem and move on, literally (and still be able to stop;...pun intended). It will be interesting if the defective part was, in fact, built at some plant in Indiana. That part is still in question - one saving grace for auto workers and the American business in general. Foreign car makers, like Toyota, began building cars here sometime in the 1980s. After so many years of building quality automobiles, it would be ironic if the first huge recall by a foreign car maker would be the result of a defect found to be the result of an American parts company. Whether it would be their fault or if Toyota itself had defective specifications, will be the key question.
