What? Do they not embroider punctuation?

Because wait, whose Britney bitch is it, exactly?

I Propose

To eliminate the following phrases from our paper:

- "Case in point:..."
- "...for the (fashionable/celebrity/eco-friendly etc.) set"
- "de rigeur"
- "To wit,..."
- Any instance of calling someone a "social" instead of a socialite. Because huh?

At the NEWSEUM last weekend, this happened

Can you spot the redundancy?

An exercise in brevity, Part II

Just saw this phrase:

...set to take place starting Wednesday and running through Sunday.

And edited it down to:

...set to take place Wednesday through Sunday.

Better, right?
