As you may recall, this writer likes to read. Books. Periodicals. If I still ate cereal for breakfast, I would find joy in reading the side of the box.
Last weekend, one of the things I happened to read was an article which appeared in a periodical that showed up in the mail. It arrived late last...
This week, let’s start with a grammar question: If the plural of deer is deer, is the plural of killdeer killdeer?

“...writing for a living can feel like a cold, dreary, morale-sucking march to the unemployment office.”
Those are actual words from actual article about writing, and journalism, which appeared on the website for the magazine Vanity Fair.
For whatever it’s worth, even after many years of trying to...
Let’s start this week with a really important question in the form of the following headline: Should you upgrade to PlayStation 5?
