Let’s get this out of the way. There was a typo in yesterdays’ email subject. No, the irony of a post about language with a typo in its subject line isn’t lost on me.
It’s not that I missed the hyphen in the NASA Mariner 1 rocket guide program, causing a crash that would’ve cost $ 158 million if it happened yesterday.
Nor that I wrote “Thou shalt commit adultery” and “God’s great-asse” in an edition of the Bible.
But I nonetheless appreciate you for being so cool and letting it slide!

We've all done it, and as careful as I am, I'm sure I'll do it again myself.
I appreciate your writing, typos or not!
