It's great, I really enjoy putting together the charity magazine every month. Honestly, I do. Yet every month, the first thing I see (and point out to my tolerant husband) are the mistakes. Unfortunately there are always a few, more or less visible, more or less annoying. So for every moment of satisfaction gained from adding a dash here, correcting a spelling mistake there, there's that sinking feeling when "whack" I see that there are a few that have managed to get through the editing process and will remain in print, FOREVER!
I know I should be more glass-half-full, but these mistakes sort of lodge themselves like splinters in my pysche's skin and are difficult to ignore or push out! It's just the way I'm wired I suppose: I'm a bit of a stickler for basic grammar, getting it right. Argh, there's a question mark instead of an exclamation on the cover...Thank goodness I know I'm not alone, due to the success of Lynne Truss' book: Eats, Shoots & Leaves. Maybe she should set up a support group for us fussy pedants. Then I can 'learn to let go' :=) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eats%2C_Shoots_%26_Leaves
