My sister and ME.
Agh!
I made a last-minute edit to last week’s email and ended up writing "my sister and I" instead of "my sister and me."
Did you notice it, %FIRSTNAME%? I DID.
Just as I will inevitably leave for any trip having neglected to pack something essential like my glasses or literally any underwear at all*, there is an error somewhere in nearly every EmAiL bLaSt I send.
I had a friend once who would start every Facebook post with, "You know what chaps my ass?"
Well, you know what chaps THIS former copy editor's ass?
🍑 Misspellings
🍑 Grammar flubs
🍑 Ye Olde "their," "they're," and "there"
🍑 Personalization tags gone awry
🍑 Broken links
And I judge my own missteps the hardest.
Some people think about the buzzer beater they missed that lost the game for their basketball team.
For others, it’s missing the opportunity to profess their love to The One That Got Away.
Me? I’ll never forget doinking out of the district spelling bee (in FOURTH PLACE, ugh, I couldn’t even medal) on the word "diffraction."
