Happy Halloween!

November 2nd, 2008

I’m a bit late, but I wanted to post a pic of the costume I wore this Halloween. I went as Marie Antoinette (although I think I look more like I swallowed Marie Antoinette.) I have always wanted to rent a nice costume, and this year I did. I used Frankel’s Costume in downtown Houston and well, see for yourself.

Where Have All the Editors Gone?

August 31st, 2008

It’s not uncommon these days to see typos and grammatical errors on major news sites. Given the time-sensitive nature of the business, it’s understandable that a misspell or typo might make it through occasionally, but more and more I’m seeing the possessive confused with the plural. Surely even the most junior editor at a major online news site should know the difference?
