Huh. I didn’t know they read C&F. Public shaming.
I’ve been grading college student papers, and editing PhD and MA chapters, and revising my own books and articles, for thirty years. It’s is a complete relief to be able to ignore typos, grammatical foul ups and apostrophe faults.
It’s heartening, sort of, that so many people care about correct usage.
The apostrophe belongs; it’s is the “is” that doesn’t. I do that it all the time. 
Typing on an iPad. But also it’s a pleasure to not have to care
C&F: Come for the whistles, stay for the literacy.
I don’t know how you do it. Mind you, I don’t go out of my way to look for them; they jump out at me. That said, I can ignore them after the fact, but it depends on the source. Here? Sure, usually. In the publishing industry? Not so much, my friend. Can I ignore my own? Never in a million years. But that’s my affliction.
It’s been said that pros are readily letting autocorrect do their work for them. Maybe it’s true, but old-fashioned as I am, I would think that a person of letters would pull their own weight, and just as a matter of principle if you need a reason. My new phone came with text autocorrect as the default setting. It was always dead wrong, so what do you think? Took me a while to figure out how to turn that maddening feature off, but I did it.
Maybe I’m just not multitasking enough.
Suppose the crone was partially dead? Would that make a difference? And, surely, having her for lunch would be better than eating her for lunch.
They look like fat grubs.
All the crones I’ve seen look like scrawny old women.
BBC headline again: “US woman’s boyfriend ‘cut brakes before deadly car rash’”
Gonna need some ointment for that.
"A Pennsylvania man has been charged with homicide after admitting to police he cut his girlfriend’s brakes in order to make a crack pipe, US media reports.
John Jenkins, 39, is being held without bail for the death of Tammy Fox, 38, who died after her car veered off the road, striking a tree and parked cars"
"Mr Jenkins told police Fox was “driving him crazy” looking for a pipe to smoke crack in, according to local media.
He reportedly told police that instead of going to the store to buy a pipe, he cut the brakes while trying to find a piece of metal to use."
Words fail.
Brakes, too. What do they teach kids in school, anyway?
Apparently not “Them’s the brakes.” Them’s the breaks…
OK, there’s not really anything wrong with this BBC article:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-us-canada-45362423/why-a-plane-is-dropping-trout-into-a-lake-from-above
“Why a plane is dropping trout into a lake from above”
Seriously, did they think they could drop them from below? Planey don’t do that.
Probably just another frustrated poet.
Do I detect a pop cultural reference, here? If so, I’m in the dark.
Moving on: “They [who?] say this mode of transport is less stressful for the fish compared to previous methods and that 95% [compared to…?] of them survive the journey.” All more or less plausible so far, but the “journey” aside, what are the stats on the stress of impact when being dumped from on high? Since when are fish not fragile things? If I were dropped into a lake from a plane, I would not end up in better condition than if I went in from a boat. I call rubbish on the concept.
I guess if you are a living fish the journey ends (one way or another) after you hit the lake.
Aw, jeez. You caught me in another of my habitual edits. Same meaning, though.
But yeah, I think you’ve got it right.
Ha Ha, then you caught me doing the same.
Just look at us. Mortifying. 
Oh, no, you don’t. You’re just being naughty.
Who? Moi?
heh heh
