If you see a typo here on FeedMe — or if I am just wrong about something (could happen!), please do e-mail me. I appreciate being corrected. When I was young, I remember my Mom telling me that people for whom English is not their first language always appreciate a correction. I do, too. Otherwise, how can we learn?
I am reminded of a favorite poem:
I have a spelling checker.
It came with my PC.
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I cannot sea.
I've run this poem threw it,
I'm sure your please too no,
Its letter perfect, in it's weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.
-- Pennye Harper
oh boy! finding typos is my favorite pastime!

actually, I don't look for mistakes but can't help noticing them, which sometimes spoils the blog-reading experience for me (reading "it's" for "its" is, like, painful). but finding a mistake in the New Yorker--WOO-HOO!

My fellow ex-newspaper journalists who now blog all wish we still had a real editor. Who knew we'd ever be saying that, huh? But it is a godsend to have another, trained pair of eyes to read over something. So I thank you, Moe, for always being so kind as to point out any typos in my own blog. You've saved me on many an occasion. ;)
