teachers that would probably freak out if they knew I was now
correcting Other people's spelling and punctuation. I often don't
have time to correct all the things I see. Unfortunately, I sometimes
even find myself correcting a message that I know will not be going

Stefan, I would love to do some editing for you. Elipses don't faze me, what drives me nuts is the improper use of its/it's and apostrophe S being used to create plural words. Makes me CRAZY!! I see it on billboards and in the professional print media all the time too. I used to write for a newspaper, if that will provide any needed incentive.
