I see that Jeff Jarvis and Mickey Kaus both wrote about the sensational flare-up between the New York Times and GM.***

For what it’s worth: it happened to me, too.

I had my first-ever letter published by the Times a while back. It was pretty cool to get the call—they really liked my letter—and to get it published.

They overcorrected my grammar and punctuation, which made me laugh. They also deleted two words. Hmmm. Okay…well…hmmm….well…whatever.

It bugged me, though, and it continued to bug me. Without those two words, my argument wasn’t complete.

So now you’re reading this blog.

*** I also wrote about this yesterday (and neglected to tip my hat to Romenesko, which I do now belatedly).
