Are you addicted to copy editing?

That is fucking fantastic.

 

I just don't use big words. You can easily understand me if you are at a junior high reading level.

 

I have an OCD thing kinda like that. I read everything backwards. It's kinda weird sometimes, people say.

 

Not only do I copy edit the song titles in my iPod, but before I got Web access at home, I had to type in every CD that I burned. For me this included scouring the liner notes to get the proper composition credit, and in the case of my jazz albums soloists on each track.

 

Maybe not these days.

 

best thing i've red in some time.

 

At the clinic I go to, they have signs to keep people back from the desk while waiting in line. They start with "To insure our patient's confidentiality..." Drives me nuts every time.

I can't turn the copy editing part of my brain off, but I don't correct or edit the writing of my friends and loved ones unless they ask me to. That's a quick way to never hear from friends and loved ones.

 

Look, you can't expect people on methadone to be completely coherent.
