Cranky

Nothing puts an anal-retentive writer and editor more on edge than the writing and editing in a copy of the neighborhood newsletter. I'm not naming neighborhoods or newsletters, but let me just say:
  1. If an article doesn't have a byline, the writer shouldn't use the first person.
  2. The opposite of short is not big. It's long, or tall. The opposite of big is small.
  3. The possessive of people is not peoples. It's people's.
I feel better now. We thank you for your support.
