Tips from a prickly proofreader. Newer posts →. Weekly reading: salon’s 2009 glenn beck exposé. September 3, 2010. As Glenn Beck presided over his “Restoring Honor” rally in D.C. this weekend, all I could think about was this tidbit: When he was a morning DJ in Phoenix, Beck called up his rival’s wife. And ridiculed her for the miscarriage she’d suffered just days before. Continue reading →. September 1, 2010. I had an epiphany last month while we were closing. Rein vs. reign. August 18, 2010.

Tips from a prickly proofreader. National novel writing month, or nanowrimo. Weekly reading: women’s health. October 15, 2010. Launched a few years ago, nearly every woman I know went crazy over it. Like its male counterpart. It’s heavy on the departments, with lots of quick tips, stats and factoids. Features tend to be shorter, especially the celeb cover stories, which is fine with me since celeb profiles are so controlled and rarely illuminating these days. But since they don’t put all their prin...

Tips from a prickly proofreader. That vs. who →. The strange, wonderful world of nanowrimo. October 19, 2009. So, if you’ve always wanted to write a novel, go sign up. Now Fair warning: NaNo is highly addictive. I hit the sophomore slump in 2007 and didn’t finish, and last year I decided to pass because I was planning my wedding. (Although, in retrospect, it probably would have been a great stress reliever.) But I’m fully motivated this year. If you’re in, friend. This entry was posted in misc. tips.

Tips from a prickly proofreader. That vs. who. Efficacy vs. effectiveness →. Reader q: two-person possessives. October 23, 2009. My lovely sister, Anne, sent me a question this week. She wanted to know how to indicate a possessive that belongs to two people, i.e. the wedding of Jenn and James. She writes, “I think I remember something like if it belongs to them together, the last person gets the apostrophe. Did I just make that up? No, you’re absolutely right!

Tips from a prickly proofreader. Johns hopkins’ sexist column. National novel writing month, or nanowrimo →. When you need an apostrophe. September 20, 2010. I guess I’m unwittingly doing a series on apostrophes, because after last week’s rant about unnecessary ones, I was watching. Keeping Up With the Kardashians. And spotted this. I’m hoping this was just a typo, and that the caption writer doesn’t actually think a possessive doesn’t require an apostrophe. This entry was posted in typos. Enter your ema...

Tips from a prickly proofreader. When you need an apostrophe →. Johns hopkins’ sexist column. September 19, 2010. There are really no words for this “opinion column,” i.e. misogynist screed, that Jezebel. I’d hesitate to give it even more page views, but it’s already been taken down. (You can get the gist of it from the Jez post.). I’ve written before. Stupid mistake or stupider joke? ETA: Here’s the cached. Update: Ah, the old “satire” defense.
