This is beautiful. It's one of Lee's earliest blog entries, and it provides a link to her grammargrinch blog.

>http://www.%20grammargrinch.blogspot.com/This blog tears into the grammar-punctuation-style and sometimes political errors of the NYTimes. Washington Post, Boston Globe, and LA Times. I don't pick on the little papers--just the big, important ones and the big, important columnists. Oddly enough, the site has a steady stream of hits from the people who work at these papers. They do want to write well, and most of them do not have training in grammar and punctuation and want to learn those skills.<
Even back then Vinegartits was picking on the grammar and punctuation of others while making clangers herself. Use commas to separate items in a list rather than periods, and proofread your work if you are to throw stones at others from your glass house.
