Re: [NEohioPAL] Proofreading Reviews Before Publishing by Lenne

I don't think anyone who subscribes to this list claims to be perfect. That includes me. That being said, it is hard to take a call for Mr. Berko to proofread seriously when your message cannot decide whether the word proofread is one word or two. (It is one by the way.) Worse yet you used the wrong form of too, meaning also. ("and perhaps Mr. Berko thinks so to") There are also a few punctuation errors. I don't consider myself the grammar police and I would normally not "call out" a post in a list on spelling and grammar but if you are going to stand as the one to police Mr. Berko about proofreading then you yourself should be above reproach in that manner.

It's not really a surprise that a literary agent would say that both forms are correct. In modern usage, pretty much anything goes, as the lines between formal written English and colloquial usage continue to be blurred, deconstructed, and heartily ignored. What's more fascinating to me is that a college professor with an interest in correct usage would say, 'They know! They are a pro!' when referring to a single literary agent.... I'm also neither defending nor correcting anyone, but I think even your expert would agree: sometimes, things are just plain wrong.
