Hello, folks! As Karen said in her opening post, the world is increasingly plagued by bad grammar, punctuation, spelling, and style. It’s even gone mainstream—seems like you can’t swing a dead [animal you dislike] without hitting a news story about a prominent, comical, or unfortunate editing snafu. The only explanation is that GRAMMARGEDDON* is upon us. We will use this blog to document the collapse of society.

And just to get it out of the way: apocolypse. There. Now I’ve made an error, and we can all breathe easier, because my blog posts ain’t gonna be perfect. (See?)

* Yeah, I thought I was being clever in coming up with this name. A better-late-than-never Google search revealed that I was not the first one to coin the term. But we intend to make it our own and give it the respect it deserves!
