Hey, someone just posted a link to the War of the "Roses" article and in it I found a grammatical error that is driving me NUTS!! Losing was spelled loosing (that would be like some strange twist on the present progressive of loose, which should actually be loosening, not loosing)
Please, please, please correct! And, consider hiring me to do copyediting!!

Re: LIFamilies
I think it depends on whether or not they just plopped it in or if it was written for LIFamilies.

Re: LIFamilies
As long as we're on LIF grammatical errors, the intro on the homepage reads, "we are the ONLY place to be seen if your part of the Long Island scene." It should be "you're," not "your." It has been bugging me for weeks!

That would be because they really need my skills. And since I need a job, it is perfect. They should hire me

They may need both of us!
I need a job so badly and the publishing industry just feels like it is shrinking There is nothing left for me.
