Embarrassment

I was looking back through several of my posts from the past couple of months last night (insomnia is a curse, I tell ya). I noticed while cruising through my archives that I’ve made a considerable number of typos.

Now, this may not seem like a big deal; this is, after all, the Internet, where typos are just the natural order and cats “can has cheezburger.” But I worked as a writing consultant in graduate school, and I’ve always prided myself on using (mostly) proper and correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in my writing, whether it’s for the Internet or a business letter.

Admittedly, part of the problem is that I’ve been doing most of my posting for the past four months on the iPad. And, while there are many things to recommend the iPad, the whole “typing on a touchscreen” thing ain’t one of ’em. I make a lot of mistakes, and I often miss said mistakes.

So, if you notice that some older posts have been edited and that the text below a comic suddenly is grammatically correct, it’s because I got annoyed and decided to make some corrections.

After all, it’s the Internet. If I couldn’t go back and rewrite history to suit my needs, what would be the point?
