Letter -- Part Two

I majored in Journalism and wrote advertising copy as a brand new college grad. I do know better. I really do!

However, I wrote that annual letter, printed out a bunch of copies, and stuck 30-some in sealed envelopes without waiting 24 hours or having somebody else read it. As soon as I was done and I picked up that leftover copy I saw several things I should edit/delete. Aaargh! I'm not starting over -- too lazy to address new envelopes.

When you blog or post on Facebook you can be excused some awkward wording, a typo or two, a bit of redundancy. When the printed word is involved, however, we need to be more careful.

Chalk this one up as a learning experience.
