EGSA Digest 04.05.13
EGSA,
In honor of English studies, this week’s Digest provides you with that much needed reassurance that what you are studying actually matters. And when I say “what you are studying,†I really mean “knowing how to spell better than a third grader.†And when I say “actually matters,†I really mean “decreases the chances of you or your writing showing up on embarrassing websites.†So instead of reading useless comments about the announcements this week, you can put your cursor right here, push a button, and see some examples of funny spelling errors. Skip the PG-13 ones, which EGSA cannot officially countenance, but don’t skip the comments on #7.
