Blogs to watch

Here's a look at some of the interesting blogs I've found:

Going verbal: Here's a blog about some of the tangled webs that are woven in the NY Times. It's called Subject, Meet Verb, and a lot of subjects and verbs here don't match. Apparently they need a few good editors and some tighter writers. There are several other stories there on writing.

Getting in the way: Here's a blog about NY Times reporters and columnists becoming part of the news they're covering.

Grammar's my life: I don't know if this is a perfect source, but you might check out GrammarBook.com. I've added it to the links on this blog. This particular page is concerned with punctuation with hyphens.

Check this: Here's a NY Times blog on When Spell-Check Can't Help.

    I found that spellcheck doesn't always work when editing a student's "collage essay." "But" she argued,"I spell checked twice."

    Of course, it was because there's a word "collage" that is spelled just that way. She just didn't read the paper over after spell check had done its thing.
