Editor, stat! (Definitely not stet.)
Yesterday afternoon, too tired to do anything else, I dragged a pile of magazines over to the sofa and started to read. First up: the Nov/Dec Archaeology Magazine. I didn't get to p. 5. They have a new editor-in-chief. If her editorial is anything to go by, she can neither spell nor delegate. It's riddled with errors; it's wooden; it's boring.
Three annoyances chosen at random: too many commas; at least one erroneous homophone; lots of passive construction.
I want to strangle someone. If I just had the energy...

Don't bother, probably not worth the effort or jail time. Just enjoy the pictures....
ReplyDeleteAh, but strangulation could be so satisfying!
ReplyDeletepassive construction generates the desire to strangle.... there is a joke in here somewhere...... :) hope you feel better soon Nicola.
