Jessica 0 #1 February 21, 2002 From www.wired.comThe Write Stuff Feb. 5, 2002 The editors at Le Temps, a French-language daily in Geneva, have had it with sloppiness. They've decided to start fining reporters who misspell words or make grammatical errors in copy. Each mistake will cost the miscreant about 3 bucks American. If that policy was in force in the United States, copy editors would make enough money to send their kids to Harvard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #2 February 21, 2002 You know Jessica, here is some useless info. In 7th grade I was both a spelling and math bee champ. I understand that it drives you nuts when words are misspelled.Just useless information for you to ponder."I am a victim of my environment."Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
