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?

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?

Sometimes, spam is funny
I just got this spam and thought it was funny enough (read: sooooo poorly executed) to blog.
hi
Heya, how are you doing recently ? I would like to introduce you a very good company which I knew. Their company web:[redacted because I don't want to give them press] They can offer you all kinds of electronical products which you need, such as motorcycles, laptops, mobile phones, digial cameras, TV LCD,xbox, ps3, gps, MP3/4, etc. Please take some time to have a look at it, there must be something you 'd like to purchase.
Hope you have a good mood in shopping from their company!
I would never buy from a company whose mass e-mails have horrendous grammar.

Let's count 'em down

(For example: "He encouraged shoppers to buy shoes that are made in the United States.")
No.
Many — no wait, MOST — times, these can be eliminated in favor of a less-clunky sentence. Cut cut cut!

While the normal people were getting drunk...
...I was catching sign errors on Fire Island!
I do like lobster, though.
Just opposite, there's a similar sign where we are "over looking" a different set of problems:
As much as I like to eat things that cost 10 'dollas-dollas,' it kind of makes me feel like a gangster.
