I have an Edittor (Will he correct everything?)

February 29th, 2008 · 5 Comments

You may or may not know that I have an editor on this blog. Said person reminds me that she/he is correcting words and punctuation of mine, which I am grateful for. He/She also says that I have my own voice, which is nice of them/they/he/she to say. But the best part of this conversation is how I seem to Capitalize words that don’t need to be Capitalized, like Dinner. I guess I must of misunderstood my elementry school teacher when they said you capitalize words with importance, like God and Dinner. Other remarks by said editor friend, is that it is easier to read when I use spacing; if only i could figure out how to space and indent. And all of this is why I try to give you, my audience as little writing, and as many photos and videos as possible. And because I start sentences with and and but.

But I like the strange grammar on Whit’s Blog.

As an elementary teacher I agree that Only words of importance Should be capitalized.

I was sitting at work today, wishing I could go to a website that would tell me more about how awesome Whit is. I say more, because I already gain a lot of Whit awesomeness knowledge through our interactions. Conveniently, I found this website. Here are my edittting submissions:

must of -> must have

you, my audience as little -> you, my audience, as little

You’re pushin’ it with the semicolon use, as well.

Instead of ‘he/she’ try: ‘xee’ and ‘his/her’: ‘hir’.
