This is the curse of being a technical writer -- you constantly want to edit
things around you. It used to bug me to have to wait for a bus next to a
deli that sold "sandwitches." And just yesterday, a very well-read and
reputable e-magazine I read started it's lead article with a sentence
including the phrase: "... the site of the principle ferry...". I wonder
what kind of ferry that is? The one that carries basic truths and laws from
one area to another?
