You Don't Say regrets

Because of difficulties we have been having with the blogging software, you may have encountered obstacles in posting to this blog. And, as you may have seen, comments are showing up out of sequence, according neither to the time of their original posting nor of my approval of their publication. We have been told that these problems may be resolved during the next few weeks. I appreciate your patience and indulgence.

About John McIntyre

John McIntyre, mild-mannered editor for a great metropolitan newspaper, has fussed over writers’ work, to sporadic expressions of gratitude, for thirty years. He is The Sun’s night content production manager and former head of its copy desk. He also teaches editing at Loyola University Maryland. A former president of the American Copy Editors Society, a native of Kentucky, a graduate of Michigan State and Syracuse, and a moderate prescriptivist, he writes about language, journalism, and arbitrarily chosen topics. If you are inspired by a spirit of contradiction, comment on the posts or write to him at john.mcintyre@baltsun.com.
