I know. Honey just gave me The Look Reserved For Crazy People.
Him "Cool. Are you going to frame it?"
ME: "Kind of."
HIM: "What do you mean, 'kind of'?"
ME: "I'm going to put it up on EA"
HIM: The Look, as he shakes his head and walks away....

AND I already pissed off my editor and I've only had the thing for a day.
I told her there was grammar typo in it. 
Can y'all spot it? |

Leslie: Very nice. It's cool that they're sending out a press release for you. Congratulations on the position and the publicity!
As for the error, did you point out the missing hyphen in "age-based reading resources"?

I knew you were smart enough to spot all four errors!
They will be sending me a new copy, revised for grammar. It was to be released today to their contacts, but this will delay it a day or so, which is fine with me. As I pointed out to my editor, it would look terrible to send out a press release for the sections under the Reading and Writing umbrella that was full of typographical errors.
It seems silly to be so excited about a press release, but it is my first one. I didn't even get a press release when I took over as Managing Editor for my national weekly way back when. I'm very excited. |

You are perfectly justified in being excited because it is exciting!

Doh! Missed the age-based thingy!
