    I know someone who uses "breef" for brief. Is this common? I've never seen it before this stop. Lede, yet. This, no. To what degree am I fucking insane?

    That "spelling 'em like they sound" largely goes back to Col. McCormick at the ChiTrib, before most of us (including me) were born.

    And the ever-popular Bulldog edition, for those who want Sunday's coupons on Saturday because they're too stupid to care about what the breaking news is on Sunday morning.

    Yes, my high school paper did all that, and I have enough vague memories I could pull it off if I had to.

    Although I find a pica pole makes a fantastic back scratcher.
