I need to hear @johnemcintyre say the words "Chillax, bro" at #ACES2013. Until then, a call for calm: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news...

.@delightfulrepas #grammarday was safe and mostly sane: a few paper cuts, some annoying but ignorable peeving. :-) @KoryStamper @AliceShort3

The copy desk was just warned about the new movie "Big Ass Spider!" Most offensive part of the title: the exclamation point.

.@Zombienomics Don't say "butt cracks," or @romenesko will find out. Knowing E.B. White once ruled the New Yorker fillers, it's an honor.

Good: We made the New Yorker. Bad: It was for Correction of the Week. Weird: The story ran 33 months ago: http://www.thinglink.com/scene...

When he can take time from running the paper, @davanmaharaj proves to be a clever Twitter headline writer: https://twitter.com/DavanMa...

I'll donate a 1979 @latimes stylebook if you need, @JoMCParkLib, but it's chiseled on stone tablets. @johnrobinson @sea0tter12 @andybechtel

Classy column by @PextonPB, who singles out #copyeditors by name as he leaves @WaPoOmbudsman job. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinion...

.@CopyCurmudgeon "Language change is completely normal, usually irreversible, and often necessary": Preach! A #grammarday reading highlight.

.@EditorMark Your #grammarday judges, being geographically dispersed, must meet virtually. Do they at least wear matching green eyeshades?

RT @StanCarey: Editor Robert Giroux asked T. S. Eliot if he agreed that most editors were failed writers. Eliot said: "Perhaps, but so are most writers."

.@EditorMark While your all-star panel is under seal, why not address Oxford comma and other pesky issues? Best hope for editor world peace.

.@ceshove Thanks for the kind words. As for "may" instead of "might," I was using it in Sense 2 here @MerriamWebster: http://www.merriam-webster.com/diction...

Cliche watch: 804 days without " 'Tis the season" appearing in an @latimes print headline. A "Yes, Virginia" did slip into a blog.

In one month I'll be with @UNCJSchool students, @andybechtel, @johnrobinson, et al., talking about editing. Can't wait.

.@katereutersward Indeed, though with all respect to #grammarday founder @mbrockenbrough, I think of it as Semicolon Appreciation Day. :-)

.@thisisjendoll Excitement is the only proper response to #grammarday. I may even use a couple of exclamation points.

Stellar panel to judge #grammarday haiku. Can they resolve the Oxford comma question while they're at it? http://www.visualthesaurus.com/cm...

On this, yes, I'm a broken record: It helps to read your copy aloud (albeit softly). See No. 3 here: http://www.pbs.org/mediash...
