Cue the Proofreader II
In the aftermath of the dust-up over the changing of the guard at my favorite newspaper, hundreds of readers and non-readers rushed into the blogosphere with their opinions and theories. One such chap offered the following: "I've worked "their" so I am not at all shocked...." Well, he may have worked "their" but I'm sure he didn't write "their." Flunking fourth grade grammar wouldn't get him past The Old Grey Lady's doorstep. The lesson here might be "Be careful when you offer your "TOO SENSE" - those homonyms may "KETCH' you every 'THYME'.
