Monday’s Wandering Thought

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.

  1. 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.

    1. 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
