Police: Taco Bell Customer Leads Officers on Deadly Chase Instead of a date with Cullen, Quintanilla ended his night in handcuffs with a chauffeured ride to jail.

These strange sentences always amuse me. Copy and Paste can be a dangerous function.

I got into the habit of poorly rewriting typed text by an overaggressive wordsmithing boss who would have me type something (or type it herself) and then change the whole thing back and forth between past, present, and future tense and then change phrasing, etc. throughout (without word searching) and then wonder why the whole thing took so long and was inconsistent. Give me a style guide and I’ll refer to it.

So back to the habit at hand, yeah I’ll fall into it posting to FR now and read something I’ve posted and realize some errors from multiple edits before the posting.
