    What a brilliant apology. "Hey, man, I'm really sorry I ate your leftovers in the frig last night. Oh btw, that was the 24th bag of your leftovers I've eaten since 1998. Well, gotta run."

    @Steverino Begins: "Hey, man, I'm really sorry I jerked off while smelling your underwear last night. Oh btw, it was the umpteenth time I've done it." Wow, I can write it, but can I actually say it out loud? We share a rent-stabilized apartment, after all.

    The Times copy editors have either been downsized, are on strike or on drugs. The paper's full of typos and grammatical errors these days. Even the dreaded "its" for "it's."

    @BookishLookish: The Journal has become much, much worse, to the point where they are cutting and pasting parts of stories into other stories (intentionally, I take it, but how fucking lazy is that?) and repeating the same text in a story (again, intentionally). It's a total mess over there.

    A nexis search of ruth bader ginsberg and greenhouse turns up nothing.


    A search for ruth bader ginsberg has 23 results.


    Including one with a correction.


    A correction that says:


    CORRECTION-DATE: August 13, 2003

    CORRECTION: An article in Circuits on Thursday about Oyez (www.oyez.org), a Web site that distributes audio recordings of the United States Supreme Court, misstated the frequency of justices' speeches from the bench. They occur every time an opinion is handed down, not rarely.

    The Times has misspelled her name at least two dozen times since 1980


    This is an amazing pseudo-non-apology, and totally made my day. I mean, wouldn't you catch something like that after . . . I dunno, the fifth time you spelled it incorrectly? The tenth? No?

    @mmstk101: I don't know... My surname is very similar to the town on Crayola crayons, bar the reversal of two consonants. This has made my life very difficult when it comes to having to correct pronunciation and spelling, especially on legal documents.

    A few months ago, I wrote an essay for my politics paper that quoted a particular economist with the more common name extensively. After four thousand words, it became very confusing even to me as to which was the correct way to spell either of our names. Which is quite a mind fuck when you're furiously proofreading fifteen minutes before the essay is due.
