LOL! Don't they have proofreaders any longer?

That's a rather personal question.

(Okay, that was a stretch.)

Not that it is a big distinction but the news at IMDb is not an internal product, they synidcate WENN.

Yeah, but that's how they got longer in the first place. Most weren't born that way.





The girthiness, however, is all nature.

Wait... I'm confused. Is there a typo I'm missing?

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:

Va. Tech shooter was laughed at

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.

Va. Tech shooter was laughed at

Is this one for the urinal thread?

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!
