miss_om

A pedant's-eye view of writing, the web, and the world in general.

Born-and-bred word nerd and professional proofreader survived a law degree with the aid of etymological, orthographical and typographical diversions.

Finds joy in fixing poor grammar, errant punctuation, incorrect spelling and obscure syntax (often self-committed) — and gets paid to do it.

Respects the line between assistance and snark. Likes: Helvetica, evolving etymology, and parenthetical asides. Dislikes: unreadable typefaces, unfixable phrasing, and linguistic prescriptivism.

Whips waffle into shape for a living, but believes multisyllabic obscurities can be nice.
