When Typos may be a Good Hting
28 Feb
My face twitched a little when I first read the topic of the article. Typos….a good thing!? Most of you will know I’m heavy on the line-by-line editing, which is my name for fixing typos, grammar errors, and anything else that is within the line. Take a look at this:
“Writers enjoy a multitude of tools to exert power over their readers. If you’re a purist, you’ll despise the very thought of the weapon I’m about to offer:

You couldn’t stand that, could you? I fully admit—it makes me cringe with pain too. But if you want an engaged audience and you use them sparingly, typos and misquotes can really draw your readers in.”

That’s very clever, but I don’t think I could do it! I’d be twitching to change it every time I read it, it would be unbearable! But for those that can withstand the pull of correct grammar, I say, go for it! I’m sure it would pay off.
I thought it would be funny to apply the concept of deliberate word butchery to everyday life. Boy, was I wrong!
While preparing food in the kitchen with my long-term girlfriend, I got down on one knee and uttered the immortal words, “Darling, will you marinade me?†It was lucky I’d hidden the knives first.
Use your new power responsibly!
LMAO… interesting heh.
