Millard needs a spell checker
This post is brought to you by the letters A through Z and in response to Millards rant to C-mom about her spelling.
"Pract(ic)ing my Spelling"
It seems like in 1988, during her job application at the INS, Ms. Millard mispelled the word "practicing" to wit she spelled it "practing" Her Boss offered to help coach on her spelling, she refused and was hired anyway.
In a memo to his Ms. Millard her boss suggested:
"Sweetsie. Please look at how EB, Barry and C-Mom do it. Try to use the spell checker - well, er,. I am practing (sic) my spelling, she said.
This exchange between the Ms. Millard and her boss has been re-printed in the first grade spelling primer Brought to you by the Letters A to Z, a book that chronicles the more private side of our favorite progressive.

I don't mind someone correcting me it's the way she corrected you. I don't even mind is someone makes fun of me, but now it's like a pet peeve, if she does it we have not choice but to correct her...it's part of our compassionate conservatism.

Answering your own rhetorical question....Aaargghh!
The other is when she parenthesis: (insert sarcasm here).
I can tell you're trying to be sarcastic, because you can't do it without also being insulting!
But of course, being an evil conservative I do it not out of compassion, but out of pure malice!
