Well, maybe more appropriately, a copy editor. See, an ombudsman (view one in action) is much different than a copy editor. Still, I serve in both capacities on my blog, which probably explains why so many of my posts are rife with errors. I'll try to explain why, although my reasons do not serve as a justification for my blunders. When I post, I typically type and type and type, so by the time I'm finally done writing, I'm tired of staring at the computer screen and pounding the keyboard. I hit the "publish post" button and move on. Then, I look at what I wrote a couple of hours later and notice all the glitches, large and small, that I made. So, generally, I go back and correct them. Fix the grammar, correct the spelling, tighten up the writing. But by that time, you kind people (all five, I guess) have already read the mistake-laden post, and you must consider me some kind of vapid blockhead. So, I offer my apologies, tempered by the fact that my routine -- writing first and editing hours later -- will most likely go unchanged. My suggestion: When you see I've posted something new, make a mental note to return to the post in a few hours, when, I hope, all the errors will have been recognized and eliminated. Thanks for your understanding and a wonderful day, you blessed bunch of losers.
(Maybe that last part was unnecessary. See, that's why I need an ombudsman, as well.)
