Favorite Edit I've Made of Late

In a feature article, changed packaderm to pachyderm.

Now don't get me wrong. I've made a lot of mistakes, misspellings, and typos myself. But this one strikes me as really special. Like the writer was thinking, "This is America, dammit. I can spell it however I want. Only commies use dictionaries and spell-check."

The spelling "packaderm" makes me think of a painful procedure which involves the worsening of a blocked
pore.

Good one!

Ah, the power of words, huh?

P.S. That photo by your name is hysterical. Is that Trump?

(Hoping it's Trump ...)

Yes, that's Trump. I was having a bad hair day when I saw that picture. It just screamed, "Girl, you wanna talk bad hair day?"
Ah, I feel so much better now. ;)

Well, it's good to know that there are some things money just can't buy (like space-age hairspray).
