Time for a reminder to be careful out there, as we look at some of the recent errors spotted in our imperfect published world (because, of course, I am perfect and never make any myself)*:
…the pictures of the bloggers…don’t wreak of the standard sales pitch (I think it means reek)
…the project would not be aloud to proceed (allowed)
…some sight the figure as high as 41 (cite)
…you can eek out six or eight minutes (eke)
…I don’t want to temp fate (tempt)
…we spend the evening with hot totties (toddies)
…do we tow to a version of that old line (toe).
As I said, be careful out there, and watch out for “spelling by ear,” as wordsmith and columnist Alden Wood used to call it.
*Joke. I do, although I try very hard not to.
