I'm tempted to name this thread after our most serious offender.
Repent, or else...

Judah Kanowitz might not be the only one with a dedicated thread.

Sprint's voicemail system when it reads a phone number that includes a 0 (zero) it would pronounce it O (letter O) and not Zero, isn't it wrong?

wrong thread, it's probably a knock off. Like the SQNY headphones I bought when I was a kid.

Edited to be appropriate for my students, but still priceless.

The the Importance of Proofreading
by Taylor Mali

Has this ever happened to you? You work very horde on a paper for English clash and then get a very glow raid (like a D or even a D=) and all because you are the words liverwurst spoiler. Proofreading your peppers is a matter of the the utmost importance.

This is a problem that affects manly, manly students. I myself was such a bed spiller once upon a term that my English teacher in my sophomoric year, Mrs. Myth, said I would never get accepted by a good colleague. But I needed a place that would offer me intellectual simulation, I really need to be challenged, challenged dentally. I know this makes me sound like a stereo, but I really wanted to go to an ivory legal colleague. So I needed to improvement or gone would be my dream of going to Harvard, Jail, or Prison (in Prison, New Jersey).

So I got myself a spell checker.

But there are several missed aches that a spell chucker can’t can’t catch catch. For instant, if you accidentally leave a word your spell exchequer won’t put it in you. And God for billing purposes only you should have serial problems with your spelling your spell Chekhov might replace a word with one you had absolutely no detention of using. Because what do you want it to so? It only does what you tell it to so. You’re the one with your hand on the mouth going click, click, click. It just goes to show you how embargo one careless click of the mouth can be.

Which reminds me of this one time during my Junior Mint. The teacher read my entire paper on A Sale of Two Kitties out loud to all of my chess mates. I’m not joking, I’m totally cereal. It was the most humidifying experience of my life. So do yourself a flavor and follow these two Pisces of advice: One: There is no substitute for careful editing. And three: When it comes to proofreading, the red pen is your fiend.
