Also, you wouldn’t “pour over a cookbook”, unless you were a sauce. The correct term would be “pore”, as in “I pored over Lidia’s cookbook”.

Can’t figure out what makes her a food critic anyway....nothing on her blog to indicate such expertise....

In a critical piece, one has to make sure not to make errors like those detailed above. It’s easy to become the butt of the joke if one is not careful.

To expect perfection from others while detailing their faults in a slapdash amalgamation of errors is hypocritical in the extreme. Ridiculous, even.

Democles was an Athenian orator. Damocles was the fellow with the sword dangling over his head. One letter makes the difference, but changes the reference from merely ham-handed to complete gibberish.

Heh. I noticed that, too. Poor English causes one to discount the writer's knowledge of, well, anything. Doesn't it.

Thank you so much for this. I was able to change this and I so appreciate your thoughtfulness.

I love to write but I am a terrible “line-editor.”

Best to you!
