Tuesday, February 9, 2010. The husband of a good friend died yesterday morning. Cancer. He put up a long, heroic and painful fight, without complaining and always grateful for the care he received. In his wife’s opinion he did not lose. His fight with cancer but won. His way into heaven. I love that view. In my opinion, there is a special place in heaven for caregivers. Susan B. Sheppard.

WordsRight Proofreading / Editing: Pin Money Pickles: the best ad
http://wordsright.blogspot.com/2009/05/pin-money-pickles-best-ad.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. Pin Money Pickles: the best ad. Virginia entrepreneur Ellen G. Kidd (1852–1932), of Richmond, had a talent for making pickles. From a start of selling some, for “pin money,” from her home at 619 N. Sixth Street, she launched a company—“Pin Money Pickles”—that eventually sold the pickles all over the world. The pickles “sold themselves” and were undoubtedly their own best advertisement. The company continued production until 1950. Susan B. Sheppard. Make your words right! Contact m...

Monday, May 18, 2009. As the language changes. The English language is always growing, changing, evolving. New words enter from other languages. Are created in specialized fields. Are created from combinations of already existing words. Were originally created as trademarked names of products. Acquire new meanings. Die out. Have meanings become obsolete. Acquire new meanings. And there's always the problem of: what is the correct way to spell [fill-in-the-blank]? Or a prepositional phrase (for example, t...

WordsRight Proofreading / Editing: Life, Mashed?
http://wordsright.blogspot.com/2009/08/life-mashed.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. I was looking at an old newspaper . no, not from last week; from the last century: from 1900 to be precise. And I was reminded once again of the power a given word can have, depending upon its use. Or depending upon its perceived appropriateness in a given situation or time in history. Take, for example, the word mashed. There’s nothing wrong with the word itself. It’s not a “bad” word. Mashed. In 1900 there was no problem. S, Richmond, VA, June 3, 1900, page 2, column 5.
