   Yeah, you’re the only one. Everyone else doesn’t make mistakes.

   You bet we don’t, Foresmac! We’re all Perfect and Lauren is Far From It. All the typos are grade-A proof of her lower-than-us status.

   :/

   Are you referring to something in particular, Lauren? If so, then I haven’t been paying much attention.

   I will share that the only thing I’ve noticed was the cough/sneeze post, the title of which I read correctly the first three times I read it and only later realized their special spelling (I’m a fast one, that!). Then, a day after that epiphany, I realized they still weren’t correct spelling because it should be ’snough’ and ‘ceeze’ (or at least to me that’s how they’d be). (How many parenthetical remarks can Anne make in one comment?)

   In the very end, I don’t think small typos matter much. Now, the bigger errors, those should have a punishment of decapitation, or, de-bloggilation. Yeah.

   P.S.

   Who you callin’ asshole, asshole?

   Assholes!

   I’ll say this. It’s been awhile since I’ve written for an audience under my name so I’m used to paying more attention. Maybe I’m just tired.

   Clearly this is an ego thing — ex-English major.

   Oh hello there. I think I heard my name.

   I think when I have high expectations for a writer, my mind glosses over typos and turns them into the right words. You must believe I have never seen a mistake.

   I’ll take that as a compliment, SJ.
