Okay, That Does It
For a long time now, I have been distraught over the downfall of proper English. u know what i mean right? its like, no one kares about grammer anymore. not gr8. (See? Isn't that annoying?)
Well, I have done enough complaining. I have decided to take action! And it was my beloved Alias that inspired me to do so. Last night, Arvin Sloane said, "[They want] their own SD-6, a unit that officially doesn't exist, comprised of team members who have no apparent affiliation to the CIA."
I can't believe that even the highly-paid professional writers on Alias don't know the difference between comprise and compose! Thus, I have started a new blog, "Tips from Copy Editrix." I am under no illusions that it will reach the masses and show them the light, but I hope at least to attract other "word nerds" who will commiserate with me over the sorry state of language today. Check it out.
That's all for a few days. I will be winging my way to Sin City this evening, and I expect to come back thoroughly debauched. So, I may not be posting for several days. But never fear...I shall return with new adventures to share!

Astera, I feel your pain. I fired off an e-mail to The Apprentice when Stacie J. was listed as a "restauranteur" on the show. It drove me nuts.
Too bad she was fired so quickly, so I never got to see whether the received my e-mail.

PLD -- They must not have. When Stacie J. returned for the last episode (remember, they brought back the previously fired ones to help?), they still spelled it "restauranteur".
Silly television folks.
