This rocks my world

Wait wait WAIT.

Toe the line?

I always thought it was TOW the line.

Trippy.

Also just learned what an eggcorn is. Love!

An exercise in brevity

Before: "All in all, the number of doors will add up to about 300 in the U.S."

After: "There will be about 300 U.S. doors."

I am copy editor; hear me fix your shit!

Thanks for letting me know.

Even if it's cute, I will never buy a notebook that is printed with the word NOTEBOOK. Because duh.

Same goes for address books that are labeled ADDRESS BOOK. Hate that. Also, it's not 1996 — so it's like, hi, welcome to Google Calendar and/or a Blackberry.

We also have a 240-point sign in our apartment lobby that says LOBBY. It's like a YOU ARE HERE sticker, except irrelevant.

That's all for today.
