I’ve realized something. In creating a site based around editing, usage, and punctuation—where I intend to post both editing tips and rants—I’ve had to be more particular about how I write. I realize that, eventually, the day will come where I will incorrectly use a word or commit a typographical error.

If it’s a typo, be kind. If it’s a difference of opinion, be accepting. But if I’ve made a genuine mistake…well, I’m not merciful, so I really can’t expect you to be.

And that’s somewhat scary.
