With 1000's of sleepless nights under my belt, I still shudder at the thought a baby's night cry. Not sure how I feel about the project, but I am sure how I feel about nursing the needs of others at 2:00 AM. <BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359970966501743019.post-7473487396442945342008-12-10T08:41:00.000-05:002008-12-10T08:41:00.000-05:00How can a blog be entitled "The Inigo Montoya Guid...How can a blog be entitled "The Inigo Montoya Guide to 27 Commonly Misued Words", and not include the word inconceivable? For anybody that has seen "The Princess Bride" (and I highly recommend it), that in itself is "inconceivable"!<BR/><BR/>ScottScott Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00405126847443749508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5359970966501743019.post-32014330827155130862008-12-10T08:33:00.000-05:002008-12-10T08:33:00.000-05:00I was extremely fortunate to work with an editor w...I was extremely fortunate to work with an editor who constantly pointed out this kind of stuff; and she really wanted me to write well, so she had a lot of red ink for me!<BR/><BR/>My daughter is finding typos in the books and magazine articles she reads, which is great for her and not so great for the writers and editors of what she's reading!<BR/><BR/>Words are important, and definitely fun to explore. Trying to slow down and actually proofread comments before they are sent is hard--kind of like talking!

Besides? Really? This kind of thing kills me - I thought newspapers had paid editors and proofreaders and stuff. This is what kids will read and say, "Hey, they said it that way in the paper - so, it should be fine in my book report."

I've facetiously commented on many occasions about how deep is my affection and affinity for Merriam Webster. Sounds like you're a fellow fan.<BR/><BR/>My heart's happy dancin' with ya'!<BR/><BR/>KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.com
