Everyone Makes Mistakes

I thumbed through the gratis copy of your magazine I just received, and I do hope that writer James Ottavio Castagnera (“Everybody Lies,” Adjunct Advocate, January/February 2005) is not an English adjunct. In a two-page article, he managed to use:
“she sited as one of her sources....” instead of “cited”
“that will vette student papers....” instead of “vet”
“…out of shear self-defense...” instead of “sheer”

Editor: I cannot tell a lie; I missed the errors pointed out above. The gentle reader who found them also asked if we were in need of a copyeditor. We are, in fact, in the midst of hiring a new one. In the meantime, thanks to all for reading each issue so closely.
