It Just Ant Right
Posted by Administrator on April 28, 2009 in Editorial Musings |
From the amusing mistake file: “It ant nothing but a constant struggle, and I mean that literately.”
Do I really need to comment? Probably not, but I will anyway. If you’re going to use “ain’t” literately, you absolutely must spell it correctly!
And that reminds me of another amusing mistake: “He literarily ran out of the house.”
I picture a distressed young man running out his front door while reciting a soliloquy from Hamlet. Or perhaps he’s composing some poetry on the fly.
And you thought editing was boring!
(As always, the mistakes are actual examples I have found while editing, but the sentences above are mine. I do like to protect the innocent.)
