The Corrections

Well, people, I am thinking of pitching a panel for the next Blogher conference on how you can increase comments and visible popularity of your blog by misusing a word. I have NEVER received so many (and I mean MANY) comments--all correcting me on my word usage of "throws" vs. "throes". And, may I add, all but one decided to do so without any credit--as in anonymously.

I have never claimed to be the Chicago Manual of Style's star pupil, and I don't plan to start now, but as I received another few "corrections" this morning, I think it's time I addressed this SCANDALOUS error on my part:

You can all sleep now, because I am not THROWING anything. I am in the THROES of an obsession.
