Good word

"While every community has its quirks, every newspaper has its quirky people. Many of them are on the copy desk. We're the ones who scream 'pleaded!!!' at the TV when a newscaster talks about how someone has 'pled' guilty to a crime. We're the ones who would have boycotted the O.J. special not because it was an affront to taste and humanity, but because the title, 'If I Did It, Here's How It Happened,' was grammatically incorrect. We're the ones who know that Dr paired with Pepper has no period and that Bobby Knight was the coach at Indiana University, not the University of Indiana."
