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:
- If an article doesn't have a byline, the writer shouldn't use the first person.
- The opposite of short is not big. It's long, or tall. The opposite of big is small.
- The possessive of people is not peoples. It's people's.
