Outed By A Google Alert
No room for error, indeed. A second after I published yesterday's post, I realized I had omitted a few words in the closing line. I went back in immediately and made the fix...but apparently not in time for Google's magicians to catch my mistake. Those guys are gooooood.

No Room For Error
Facebook allows members to edit photo captions, so why not status updates? Few typos pain me more than ones I commit myself--and then broadcast to my friends, who at times treat me like their human dictionary. (I wouldn't have it any other way.)
Author Kathryn Schulz proposes a similar feature for Twitter, though in a much more serious context. I read about it here on Mediabistro, which read about it on Word Yard, which read about it on Poynter.
This giving credit where credit is due is hard work.
