The benefits of proofreading
This is from an online cricket
coaching resource:
...if there are distractions
floating around your mind, you are sure not to be focussing to your
optimum level and are more likely to male a mistake.
So. You need to clear your mind of
distractions. Otherwise you are at more risk of maling a mistake.
Oops. While tiping, male sure you right the write words, and
concentrate.
Kensal Rise library
If you want to know why I don't vote
and why they're all the same:
"The cowardice of Brent's
Labour council in stripping Kensal Rise library, and the philistinism
of unscrewing the brass plaque remembering Mark Twain from its wall,
in the middle of the night, would horrify anyone who still recalls
Labour's founding mission to share education, knowledge and hope with
the people. We will continue to fight for our library," said the
author Maggie Gee, vice-president of the Royal Society of Literature.
The playwright Michael Frayn also
condemned the move. "They took the books out and the plaque
down? So the library is now an unlibrary, in the way that people
became unpersons in the darkest days of the Soviet Union. I hope they
took the titles of the books off as well. Removing unbooks from an
unlibrary – who could possibly object?"
The biographer Sir Michael Holroyd
said: "The wanton destruction of the Kensal Rise Library – its
books removed, its history erased – is a gross act of philistinism
which will bring lasting shame to all involved."
For Parliament, read: hall of
philistines, all parties. Remember Ed Balls (now financial guru, then
education guru) setting the bar for our kids' education at the point
where they statistically avoided jail.
