MisCon 25 Attending Pro
I've always noticed typos and incorrect usage in books, on billboards, even in subtitles. I can't watch the news without cringing because a newscaster misused or mispronounced a word.
When I was in high school, I wanted to be a copy editor before I knew the name. I was tired of seeing errors in the school paper. So I went to the adviser and asked if there was a position for someone to check spelling and grammar. She told me it was the job of the editor in chief and turned me away. Imagine my horror when, in my senior year, they misspelled my name in the paper in a feature story they did on me.
