I edit manuscripts for a scholarly press.~~I used to blog under the pseudonym Ed Absurdum. I now use my real name because I dislike anonymity. And I like the sound of "nonanonymous.~~I don't write about dangling modifiers or other boring trivia, and I don't do "haha, I found a typo." I'm not with the grammar police.~~If I criticize an author, that doesn't mean I disagree with them or find everything they write unacceptable.~~Opinions expressed here aren't necessarily those of my employer.

Addendum to last post

I was so excited when I wrote the last post that I sent it without including an anecdote about my old pal. He used to sing, and this really cracked me up, he used to sing, "Hey, little Donna/You still wanna?/You said that I should ring you up when I was in Tiranë."

Except, of course, that the actual line is "Toronto". Love that song.

Yeahyeahyeah. Of course, as you point out, it was meant to be "Toronto." But that's what was so gosh-darn zany about the guy!!!!!
