But on the table of contents it was listed as the 38th National. Am I picky? Maybe. Proofreading was my passion. More importantly, there is more often one or two decent articles surrounded by a lot of puff pieces. Thank you.

Then they're not much different than most news these days. A lot of what I read is not only full of typos, but is barely better than the stuff that got me Cs in High school. Some of it is worse.
