Do You Ever Feel
. . . that reading of any kind—whether online, or via dead tree—is like walking through that apple orchard in The Wizard of Oz? Typographical errors and incorrect word selections grab at one, tearing at one's clothing and sending one screaming away into the night.

Unless, of course, it's just me. Sigh.

I feel the same way when I hear Al Gore saying that the Earth has a fever--or anything else he says for that matter. Or when the MSM goes on about Val Plame and Bush, Cheney, and Rove. Or most other MSM truthiness. Or when I visit Kos. Or.... You get the picture. That's why they don't sell nuclear weapons at Walmart, you know, and why other stores carry gin.

I can forgive it to a degree amongst non-professionals online. But dead tree publications and commercial/professional websites, there's no excuse. You shoot your credibility with misspellings, grammatical errors, etc. What's an editor for, if not to catch junk like that.
One of my pet PEEVES? A "Forward" at the beginning of a book, where a "Foreword" ought to be.
GAAhh!

Never felt that way. I wish the Tin Woodsman had a chainsaw instead of his ax. There's something to be said for some good clear cutting.
