If you were on a temp contract with no prospect of a contract while the overlords you support were getting 80% of your wages in perks would you be proofreading?

Like I know it's just a grocer's apostrophe
Big whoop. Accepted.

But how do you have someone responsible for writing, that doesn't know how to write good?

I spend so much of my time correcting basic grammar errors from people with PhDs. My feeling is that grammar is hard for most people. Or at least unimportant to them.

Well, yeah, I would because a man has got to have a code.

The proofreading on the RTE news site is atrocious so this doesn’t surprise me at all.

This would have been the job of a subeditor, which is what I’m trained to be. But there’s no work for us in journalism any more. So I use my talents in a different field.

pedantary?

 

[MacDara]

I was going for deeply triggering but I feel I could have done better.

What, was it on TV? I assume that's what you mean. It would worry me to think they sell out Wembley stadium on the regular.

On RTE television. One of them cried at the end singing You Raise Me Up. It was embarrassing

I had to double check my thread titles there.

My godfather got a DVD for xmas of that other guy who did You Raise Me Up before them, whenever that first came out. Stayed with him for a week after that xmas. He watched that DVD at least twice a day. That song, at least four times a day. Every day.

It's also pretty standard banter for MEWP operators.

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

MEWP?

 

[seanc]

MEWP?

Scissor lift or cherry picker. Mobile Elevated Work Platform. Please allow me to use odd nomenclature to sound like someone who knows something about something.


Anyway, you engage the "up" function and sing.
