Letters to the Editor
|
Warren, Funny article you wrote for the Glossy (about Bush invading based on punctuation errors.) Bush is totally suX0r! But it's ironic that your article has so many typo errors itself. In the caption, you misspelled the word epiphany. Also, in the sentence "Iraqis weapons" you forgot the possessive apostrophe. And I believe President is always capitalized when the writer is referring to the President of the US. Doh! |
Funny email you wrote-about the typos. Why don't you address yourself to the editor of the glossynews, who was responsible for the typos, and not waste my time... with your small minded, philistein, picayune, prose hiccups... It is amusing though that there can be a militarist/corporate coup in this country and you remain somehow concerned about the possessive apostrophe. And if you think the president is capitalized....then maybe you can read a corporate balence sheet. Quickly: get a life.

Um, maybe because your name was on the byline, silly me. I wouldn't have mentioned it except that the headline addressed punctuation errors and I thought you'd find that ironic too, not respond defensively. >. and not waste my time... with your small minded, philistein, (that's philistine, by the way) ~ducks~ >It is amusing though that there can be a militarist/corporate coup in this Woah woah Sweeto, I'm on your side...and as scared of the coming trainwreck as the next girl. But you have to mind your p's and q's when you're publishing for public review, otherwise you lose your credibility for the cause. It would be like someone letting you go on national TV with spinach in your teeth. Your true friends are the ones who point it out to you so you don't look like a maroon. The Right already thinks we're a bunch of wacko dropouts. >And if you think the president is capitalized....then maybe >Quickly: get a life. Quickly: get a dictionary...and a sense of humor. It's clear from your article and your spiteful email that you have neither. ~neener neener~ |
Mea culpa mea culpa, mea maxima culpa ms. cayenne, you are indeed pepper to my salty response and you make a number of excellent editorial points..... i stand corrected and chastised, and i am duly advised of my hideous shortcomings... i see now that i have betrayed the cause through punctuation. having led a life of activism, i am now labeled heretic owing to an apostrophe ... but you have us... no question... you have laid waste this respondent AND his editor. as for a sense of humor in the face of resident bush, i owe that that would be impossible to maintain under current circumstances. i don't mind living in a country where one laughs on occasion.. its living in one where one is required to laugh-thats hard. i shall seek out a dictionary... and mr. white, the editor is of course to receive a copy of this ... more ignominy will be heaped upon his head. as for the coming train wreck.. don't forget to duck... but then it has already occured. the Right you mention deserves some other names. but i do confess to shaddenfreude over trent lott, that unspeakable swine...(excuse this digression.--but it helps lighten my mood.) forgive my impertinence but i now submit a small poem for your canny, prescient eye.consider it a kind of homage. ms. cayenne i do regret now that i was spiteful while you've been nothing short of delightful-and insightful i've spewed and hemmed and hawed and worse and yet you've never lowered yourself to verse i shall try to develop a humourous sense in a world where satire fetches no recompense i shall try to escape the lower case but alas i think it too late to elude even that disgrace so ms. cayenne, please accept my apologies tis not often so, but you've bested me and mr. white, my hapless editor.. too many a sleepless night await him following your coup. and ms. cayenne, please, don't let this get around as you've noted of mr. white and me we're on very shaky linguistic ground and of course given my politic i'm at risk both "stumm" and acoustic ms. cayenne-forbear, but touche madam, you have won the day a repentant, broken man. |
