I sometimes get the urge to fix spelling I see in newspaper ads, not to mention stupid editorial slackness in online news reports. <BR/>I shall be sure to take your advice and get my essays and reports checked more often this coming semester.<BR/>Thanks. <BR/>(I am also short!)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594175504224756529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950727852821572506.post-66348801781135222832009-01-18T19:51:00.000-05:002009-01-18T19:51:00.000-05:00@ silver fox: err, workshopping.
