I get so misrepresented.

Okay, so as usual I am reading the blog I love to hate (and hate to love!), and then she says something so true that I realize I have to eat my words:

"the difference between my voice and someone else's can literally be the placement of a comma."
--julia allison (via juliaallison)

Yep, for instance, I turned in a story to the Wall Street Journal that said:

"I think we can expect to see a worldwide recession following the subprime credit debacle, and this will further expand the income gap in developing countries."

But! The dumbass editor moved my comma and the story wound up reading like this:

"I hate black people."

Clearly, that is not my voice, that is the voice of Sally Field.
