Over on the #birdsite #TimeMagazine are having a really bad day.
This is why #proofreaders and #editors, and those with at least a basic grasp of geography are so important!
Giving them the benefit of the doubt I wonder if the headline was meant to say:
"How Ukraine's dam collapse could become the country's second Chernobyl

207 followers · 477 posts · Server urbanists.socialWow! Two infamous errors in one #proofreading project. I feel so USEFUL!
This project had 1 instance of "Dr. Spock" where "Mr. Spock" was needed, and 1 instance of "Ernest Hemmingway." (S/be "Hemingway.")
I've wanted to join the ranks of "Hemingway fixers" for years and I finally got the chance. 24 years as an #editor and I still get a thrill out of a good catch.
Remember, people, #proofreaders are your last line of defense. Don't skip this valuable step before publication.

While I'm debating whether to renew other, more expensive memberships, I clicked "renew" the moment the MET email came in. I'm really impressed with how the organization is run, and I love the monthly informal talks.
