It’s Moronic Monday!
Monday is blah. Monday is blue. Monday is the perfect day for complaining. So... Every Monday (time permitting), I will whine, criticize and otherwise carry on about some grammar or spelling goof that makes me crazy. It might be something I spotted recently or just one of those common, irritating errors that the nuns at St. Margaret's Elementary slapped out of me.
[Disclaimer: Nobody's perfect. I make mistakes, too. But just for fun, let's pretend I don't.]
Today's goof comes from syracuse.com, an affiliate of Syracuse's Post-Standard. Given that the site draws more than 58,000 visitors per month -- and represents a metro-area newspaper that boasts a new $40 million press hall -- you'd think the peeps over there would be staffed to the gills with copyeditors and proofreaders. Maybe that would make a difference.
They need me.

HAHAHA! Reminds me of the business card I once received from a massage therapist:
Joe Smith
Maryland certified the rapist
(yes, punctuation and spacing DO matter)
So glad to see you are blogging again too! Love the Monday post idea. Coffee soon…?
Glad to see you here
YES, coffee soon! Just say when.
