It’s the sabbath, but there’s no rest for this secular Jew, as today I’ll finish the first correction of the Albatross’s galley proofs. Then, I’ll do it again, ensuring that the many changes I recommended earlier were made. Then it will be published and I will be damned to hell. But that’s a First World Problem. Meanwhile, in Dobrzyn, Hili contemplatess the real troubles of our planet:
A: What is so surprising?Hili: That the world has fallen so low.
In Polish:
Ja: Czemu się dziwisz?
Hili: Że świat tak nisko upadł.

Proof reading is horrible. You have my condolences. I used to be an editor & proofer & quickly learned I hated doing that work.
I love proof-reading everything but my own work.
Agree 100%. I’m very good at proofing others’ work, but can never see the silly typos in my own stuff.
Sub
& sub
& resub
fingers crossed…
Sometimes, the surprise is that it hasn’t fallen further…yet…
