Writing Boot Camp, Remedial Version
If I continue reading our local newspaper every day, especially the Letters to the Editor, I may lose the ability to form actual sentences or use punctuation that makes any sense at all. (A friend cancelled her subscription a few years back when this same paper hyphenated the word "the.")
Noah solves this dilemma by reading other papers online. Reading a newspaper online doesn't feel quite right to me. I grew up with The Chicago Tribune on our kitchen table, and still enjoy the feel of actual newsprint. Maybe I'm just old-fashioned. (Maybe I'm just old.)

Seriously? They hyphenated "the"? Where would you even put a hyphen??
I find myself pondering the curse of writing boot camp more than the blessings some days...
Um, you find yourself, eh? ;)
Ooh... even without the boot camp experience, that sort of thing makes me twitch. It's one of the reasons I don't subscribe to our local paper, either. Not only do they publish more advertising than news, but they seem constitutionally incapable of stringing together consecutive coherent sentences.
Poor Raisin...
That's like, unpossible.
Some days I feel like boot camp is the remedial version already (usually on my day to present).
Then I see things like this.
