Why we proofread, part whatever

Perhaps because if we don't, we might have witnesses inadvertently revealing more truth than they intend?

If, if an investing partner understands the business, the macroeconomics, where they're differentiated, how they're going to cheat, and how they're going to win in the business, and they choose to invest in a company and choose to pay a certain amount, that's business.

Cheat/compete.  In a deregulated market, it's a fine line.  

Adam, that's such an ironic mistake.  Glad you caught it before it went out.  My blooper today was a hearing mistake, not a fingering mistake.  In a remote CART job, working with a new client, I wrote that her supervisor asked her, "Sallie, how are things on the dark side?" 

She said, "Dark side?  Have I lost the respect of my coworkers now?" 

Everyone laughed uproariously.  He'd actually said "doc side" because she's in charge of document archiving for the company.  Oops!!!!

Both stories are funny, thank you for sharing!

Hey, Karen:

In several areas up here in New England, both those words would be pronounced exactly the same way . . . so you wouldn't have been wrong!

Living in the DC Metro area, and running up against interesting, elongated names of cities, a reporter comes up with interesting briefs.  Manassas, VA comes to mind.  Don't even get me thinking of the recent transcript in which "man" "ass" appeared over a hundred different times in a hundred different, a-hem, humorous combinations!  Proof the Goof!
