I posed this question last night in a tweet after reading yet another blog post on a major site with more than one typo. I can’t remember the last time I went through my Google Reader and didn’t see some type of writing blunder – whether it be a grammatical error or a spelling error. [...]
Get your knickers out of a wad, Quora lovers. I’m the failure here. Not Quora. You see, several weeks ago I was hearing more and more about Quora and started a blog post about it. I got a good bit of it written too. And then….well, I don’t really know what happened. I actually wrote my [...]
