I just laughed at the picture 😀 “What’s … happening?” (not that DT gets that reference)

I would love to be part of your team. SO many creative writers that would seem to be fun to be friends with.

And other times, it’s like to clean up typos or words that look like you spoke them into a “smart” phone instead of typing them out.

I have always admired automotive magazine writers that come up with incredible and invocative descriptions I never could have.

And, I immediately spot a typo or a misspelling.

I blame my mother, English major, newspaper editor, who sent my letters home from college back to me with red ink on my grammatical or spelling errors. And continued to do so while I was a cub newspaper reporter before I got the jobs I wanted as a photographer, first print and then video.

Second half of my career was as a guy who implemented software for news organizations and a typo was almost always fatal with what I was trying to implement. Like 99% of the time.

That level of precision apparently made me a terrible guy to live with.

I’m retired, but old habits die hard and I’m not that much easier to live with.

I imagine engineers (of any kind) may run into the same domestic issues.

God bless the people who put up with us.

For me it’s units. I kept bothering a colleague this week because he talked about a compressor’s “square feet per minute”

Given that most writers aren’t real car people I think DT trying to keep up on your education is vital
