LOL...good one!

I'm usually NOT one of the spelling/grammar police types; however, word usage...you bet I am! Words have set meanings!

Well when you see gross error....sigh. It’s hard not to comment.

I get in too much of a hurry because I’m always trying to do about 11 things at once. Even now.

So I make a lot of typos.

But a news organization, they could maybe, dunno, hire a few editors.

I remember at one job when there was a stern letter from the back office with the ending:

“I except your cooperation!”

Not “expect” but “except” so I guess we didn’t have to cooperate at all.
