Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

Have seen more typos since the 1990s than ever before. People have become careless...or they don't care. Can't even read a published book without finding errors...including textbooks. I have always proofread as I typed. I don't use spell-check because I don't trust it. If not sure of a spelling, I ALWAYS look up the word in the Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary (11th edition) ...a necessity in one's personal reference library. Too often I hear: "It's no big deal"..."Who cares if it's misspelled?"..."It's the thought that's important--NOT the spelling or the typos." Unbelievable. Have pride in your work (all of it)!!!

Desktop publishing became prevalent in the early '90s. Traditional typography companies fell like dominoes. Journeymen proofreaders became unemployable after having served a six-year apprenticeship and garnering decades' worth of experience. Spell check does NOT know the difference between a noun and a verb and will gloss over any word contained in its database. It was the dawn of the era of "**** it, it's good enough". There is no substitute for quality typographical craftsmanship; and that requires a fully-trained professional human being.
