Pathetic But True

While well written, this Salon article makes me depressed to be a copy editor. (I know the article's about proofreading, but that's very similar to copy editing.) Of course, there are the memorable highlights of the job, too: Just yesterday, I participated in an in-depth debate about the proper spellings of Slushee, Slushie, slushy, Slurpee, and Squishee.
