He finished reading an article on a Tampa Bay news site. At the end of the article was something he’d never before seen: a button to report typos.
Impressed, he nodded. Many sites would benefit from such a button. They could also use a button to report grammar and punctuation errors.
Hell, his own modest site would do with those buttons.
Couldn’t we all use those buttons, Michael?

I think many can but there are a few, a tiny, tiny, few, where I never find a tpo or those other errors. Not on my site, mind you. LOL Cheers, nan.

Such a button would be more trouble than it’s worth, though, at least for you. [small tirade deleted] For every person who occasionally caught a dropped word or potentially confusing comma, there’d be a half-dozen others telling you that the correct plural for cat is cat’s and that you must always use a conjunction when joining two sentences with a semicolon: i have MFA English so i know grammer better then u, you should of not wrote cats because its cat’s when u have more then 1. Seriously, unless idjits claiming to “know grammer better then u” makes you laugh, it’s not worth the hassle.

Thanks for your humorous comment and sharp insights, Thomas. And it’s true; the Oxford comma is just the tip of the grammar sword. You’re so right, it would not be worth the hassle. Cheers

Well, I am on Team Oxford Comma, Michael.
I try to avoid grammar errors and typos, but every now and then, I will catch one on my blog. If I do, and no matter how long it has been, I will try and fix it.
