The title "Your Sew Vein" is a blushing admission of my tendency to obsess on spelling/grammar/style errors beyond what some view as necessary, or sane. "People make mistakes," they say.
Yes, and I catch them.
This is that place to air our struggles with things that make the world go 'round ... such as love, money, dangling participles and crusading against the comma-happy masses.
"Up-and-coming artist, Tom Smith, will hold an exhibition Friday ... "
NO NO NO. You do not need a comma there. Or there. Take 'em out. Out!!

The birth
I've been contemplating a grammar blog for a long while. In some respects, it's not the most original idea (see: Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips), but it's just too damn tempting not to start my own, what with all the material life on the grid provides me.
It was on the backburner until last night, when yet another sighting of a typed sign asking for tip's sent me over the edge.
I hope soon to get a camera phone, but for now I will photograph as much as I can, keep my eyes peeled or just report on the many offenses I see on the go in Manhattan. Think of this as Perez Hilton meets Poynter.
And welcome.
