Quote

The time-tested way to overcome language problems - the approach I used to learn French in the first place - is of course to find a volatile girlfriend who is fluent in the language. There is nothing like hysterical weeping over the phone at 3 a.m. to really flex your listening comprehension.

John McIntyre provides, for scientific purposes, a catalog of Redactus Domesticus[1], the common copy editor. Among the types he finds in his net:

The Pouncer
By the Book
Thanks for Sharing
Mote Man
Speed Demon

and other species that seem somehow familiar. See if you can collect the whole set!

[1] Don't give me grief about my invented Latin. Unless you can provide an accurate rendition of this. :-)
