I can understand why it's a very, very bad headline. But proofreaders are generally checking for grammar and punctuation. Copy-editors look at big questions like "gee, why are you implying that they're doing anything with the killer's genitals?"

OMG! How COULD I use the term proofreader rather than the proper copy-editor. Shoot me now.


In other big headline news:

God help us. I expect everyone to stop making fun of my typos immediately or fear for your life.

They never quite seem to get the targets they truly hate.

So I assume that if we continue laughing at you then a group of crazy Knott's fans should fear for their lives.

What typos? NA truly digs Darkbeef and she wears undergarments made of granola.

I'm not being an ass about it, NA, I genuinely thought you were talking about some sort of typo that made it funnier. And I couldn't find it, which drove me nuts because I am a professional proofreader, and if there's a typo and I can't find it, I panic!

The Lounge of Tomorrow -- where sooner or later every thread assesses the girthiness of someone's package.

Well my interest has officially been piqued. I'll tell you how my date goes tonight. :D

I've moved this thread to the Daily Grind, because it did not get the remotely nasty response I feared when suggesting 33 American lives were petty compared to the daily death toll in Iraq.


In fact, now that we are talking about killer's junk and killer junk, I may have to move this to the Lounge if neither Iraq nor Virgina return to the fore.
