Afflicted

Dear readers,

Given the name of this blog, it horrifies me to report that my eye for errors has become infected. I do not know the name of the disease, but the symptoms include creating and/or failing to notice the following:

• Repeated words
• Wayward apostrophes
• "To" when I mean "two"
• "Won" when I mean "one"
• "They're/their" mistakes (infrequently, thank God)
• Various forms of errant transposition
• Flat-out misspelled words
• God only knows what else

As you can see, my condition, which I attribute to rapid-fire emailing and instant messaging, is grave, and it appears to be worsening. Unless I treat this disease aggressively, I fear I'll soon be no better than a commoner! So, I hereby swear to slow down and give each missive a closer look before hitting "send." If you catch me in an error, please, for the love of all that's good and holy, do as EPH recently did and tell me.

Sincerely,
Rock and Roll Grammarian
