About the Author

I currently work as a copy editor at the Detroit News, but have worked with words in one way or another for more than a dozen years. That includes stints as a reporter, PR flack and technical writer. Drop me a line here or find me on Facebook or Twitter.

Publishing Policies

I will never publish something knowingly false. However, like most people, I’m human. Corrections follow these guidelines:

• Minor errors may be corrected and reposted seamlessly and without notification. For example, if a post has grammar or minor spelling errors, I reserve the right to correct them without informing readers.
• A misspelling to a proper noun, such as a person’s name, is a graver offense. Corrections of this nature get a permanent note within the updated text. For example: [Corrected 13 March, 2004 to 'Smith' from 'Smyth']
• Major factual errors include flat-out mischaracterizations and their ilk. For example, suppose I or one of the guest authors misquotes a source. In such a case, the post will be corrected and reposted with the words CORRECTED, SEE ORIGINAL BELOW at the top of it. The reason for the correction will precede the original text.
