Proofreader wanted


Has anyone else noticed the erosion of literacy in today's magazines?
Two recent examples:
1. The January Sound&Vision is reviewing a new $8000 integrated from Yamaha.
The first sentence asks: "Are you drooling over those massive UV meters?"
(Don't they mean VU meters?)
2. Another review (can't remember the source) describes some speakers as
"immanently listenable". I think they meant "eminently listenable".
Cowabunga!

There's a movement afoot to abolish writing because it's no longer necessary. Who needs to write when they can text is the argument. Fabulous!
Whoops! My bad...Grammar...guess I was typing to fast. And yes Albert if you are a stockholder, I hope I didn't spark any undue panic :)

On a tangent, there is a book out titled "Albions Seed" that documents the four major folkways brought over from the U.K. One of them, the Borderers, settled west of the colonies since they couldn't get along with the others and have gone on to evolve into one of the mainstays of extreme right wing culture in this country. One of their proud distinctions is the disdain for proper spelling (as seen on their protest placards) and total lack of respect for authority.

From the reviews I've read, it goes a long way towards explaining our cultural roots and differences. It's on my list of what to read soon.

All the best,
