As part of my latest project referenced in the post below, I’ve started a Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/editorialcurses. No, that’s not a typo in the URL — but kudos for noticing! Visit the link in my Twitter profile to learn the story behind the name.
Because I’ve clearly been so good at keeping this blog up to date, I’ve decided to start a new one. Why do I think the new blog will actually thrive? Because I won’t have to dredge my brain for the content; the content will be driven by you.
Hence the title of this post. Send me found typos — take pictures, transcribe — however you prefer to deliver them is fine with me. I’ll categorize them (think misused apostrophes, perilous missing letters) and post daily. My hope is to create the most comprehensive database of amusing typos and grammatical blunders on the Web.
Please note, I’m not interested in the common comma splice. I want the meaty typos that make us editors snicker — the episodes of “pubic drunkenness” in your local paper’s crime log, the Chinese restaurant’s invitation to try their delicious “sweat and sour chicken.” You get the point.
So start sending them. I’m ready. And when I’ve got a good start, I’ll launch the blog and let you all know where it lives.
