Seems like more than a spelling error. If you did it, I might let it slide. You don’t have an editor. I saw “baited breath” in a story the other day. Is that a spelling error?
Couldn’t that be taken as
‘Hillary, MEET Boris, your hangman, he will be —when you MEET again, —METING out justice?’
Two at a time and this one for your horse.
Blazing Saddles
Pointing out that a professional writer doesn't comprehend basics isn't quibbling.
Lack of precision in language usage blemishes that writers credibility.
“I saw baited breath in a story the other day.”
I could sight other examples, but it’s a mute point.
That editor is not much of a roll model, I daresay...
