There aren’t many places in the world where you can golf one day and ski a foot of fresh snow the next. Please give my thanks to the appropriate people for their kindness and hospital- ity over the weekend. » , I am looking forward to taking Mr. Peck up on his late-night offer to proof read an entire issue of the WCR so he can demonstrate the ease with which one could entirely eliminate the abundant typographical and grammatical errors (note to the editor - if you feel compelled to “sic” any part of my letter, it is improper to place the “‘sic” in parentheses, as has been your ironic practice in the past. Rather, the “sic” should be placed in brackets); if sobriety hasn’t caused Mr. Peck to lose his nerve, I’ve got ten bucks that says he can’t eliminate all the errors in any one edition of the WCR. Let me know if Mr. Peck is _man enough to accept the challenge. Also, I read Mr. Baker’s article on 24 hours of Moab and would like to the - first to sign up for the WCR’s team entry in the over 200 lb. “Clydesdale” class. Give me the sign and I’ll begin training in earnest. Sincerely, Brady C. Toensing, ESQ. Lead Attormey of the WCR ak aaa & Monday Morning Copy Editor Editor’ s response This letter requires explanation. During a niche of excess, when the Castillo rum was flowing like water from its plasticjug, David Peck, a valued member of the WCR team, took the brain-trust of the Wasatch Canyon Reporter to task for the daunting number of “typos” (well, OK, “huge glaring errors”).. He proudly boasted that “I can proofread one complete issue of the WCR, without letting a single typo through, just to show you beaters it can be done.” It had never occurred to us to tackle so large a project, and we can not imagine why anyone would want to. We consider perfect flawless prose to be a part of a bygone news era, somewhat akin to batting .400. Sure it has been done before, but it is unlikely to be repeated.. .and we aren't really of Ted Williams’ caliber. But we are going to unlock the doors and let Mr. Peck have at the copy. As to your letter Mr. Toensing: Nice tight text, clear, concise...well except for middle sentence which is a bit of a run-on. You spoke in the passive voice eleven cent of the time, and used on average (median) 4.2 characters per word...giving a Flesch-Kincaid reading level of Grade 6.2. Not bad an attorney. In the shoot for fewer contractions in a formal note. | Just to be sporting we are going to accept your pet on Mr. that — peryou er ‘Peck’ Ss behalf...although we do not accept financial liability for his debts. Should you lose, just knock an hour off our next legal bill. Thanks for writing - and Epene GUS on your engagement.
