Galway question

Date: Sep 3, 2004

LVN, the orchestra is fabulous. But they do have a history of egregious typographical errors. (You should have seen the punctuation when Leontyne Price came to teach.) Also, one of the faculty members who used to complain about it also used to proof read for them. But this person is now on babbs's list.

Sorry guys, but you are wrong. The departed faculty member who complained about the mistakes never got the chance to proofread what he/she wrote.

p.s. the quality of work from the faculty member as a proofreader is verified by the fact that he/she was hired by a TIER ONE university, a school that sees the significance and future possibilities of this person's research. In other words, another loss for the home team.

The person who was proofing wasn't a writer, just a complainer in the best sense of the word and a good citizen. I'm sure proofing the orchestra notes wasn't on his FAR. (He also used to get frustrated when his corrections didn't make it into the program.)

And more than one faculty member complained about the typos.

The person I'm talking about might just be living near a tier one university . . .
