Clever little editing jobs make everything sound so much better, right?

Oh, and the Calgary Herald printed my letter.

Except that they cut out the first half of the last paragraph, and I think the last sentence. (I don't have it here in the school library to check.)

Har har. I was SO tempted to email them again and say, "can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" but that would be pointless.

Gotta go to class now. See y'all.

wow that rocks!!!
I dun know how I missed that post... both letters are awesome!
very well written and clear.. just the sort of writing that begs to be published.
Excellent work!

Well, it's nice they printed it, but - I don't like that they edited it to take out my criticism of their paper, and my telling them how offensive that was.

I mean, not only is it total cowardice, but I really strongly disapprove of censoring the phrase, "that offended me."

oh. :(
I'm sorry.. I didn't get to the part where they left stuff out.
I'm really scattered today, I'm sorry.

Calgary Herald likes to cut things X.x She cut out a whole review of mine under space constraints, so that may have been the reason.

Someone suggested that to ne - but then, it was only two sentences, y'know? *shrug* I suppose I'm inclined to be cynical.
