I had a friend who said that there are those who will read for content and then there are those who will read to find errors. Thank goodness for both, I guess!

Apparently, I’ve also been sleep writing after 3am for a long time now. I’m so grateful for your honesty and the laughter you give us all!

The "volunteer copy editor" that missed the misspelling of Iowa superstar basketball player Caitlin Clark was me. The Secretary of Education's flub—"A1" for "AI"— was a spoken gaffe, not a mere typo. I'm reminded of Lawrence Welk's famous gaffes, introducing the musical number "Take the A Train," as "Take a Train."
