There’s a reason we - and I’m using the royal we here - don’t like to play gotcha games, even if our business is finding and correcting mistakes. Jon Stewart’s bust of the finger-wagging crew over at Fox News illustrates that reason. We’re not sure how this evaded our attention for nearly three weeks*, but we’re grateful to Editrix for pointing it out. * - Slothfulness, probably. |
About This Blog
Watch Yer Language is a clearinghouse for style and usage tips that emanate from my workaday life as an editor at The Billings Gazette — plus the occasional detour into pop culture and other corners where language is wielded. The material is pulled from all sorts of sources — the Associated Press stylebook, dictionaries, various usage manuals, the kindness of strangers and the keen observations of colleagues and friends. The goofy sense of humor is mine alone.
