I would also like to complain about bad editing - especially in newspapers (I don't care so much when I'm on TC or other web sites) - but newspapers, whether on-line or on my front porch are supposedly paying large sums of money to have someone read and re-read articles for spelling and grammar - not just let the "spell check" do it - and MAN are there some BAAAAAD "editing" jobs out there! I counted 7 mistakes in an article not too long ago! 7! I'm one of those people that just can't let that go when I come across it - I feel like I'm running along a trail and suddenly there's a root in the middle of the path and I trip on it! Takes me a bit to collect myself and figure out what the author was trying to convey and then move on. Good thing I never took the Evelyn Wood Speed Reading course - these days I'd be flat on my face on that trail!
