On Led Zeppelin II Dies
I feel like there should be an obvious joke here, but the track titles and best-known lyrics from II are not yielding anything.
Fuck.

@Lockheed Ventura: The problem is, history is only a few thousand years old, and most of that time was vastly different from the present day.

This is all sorts of insane. Spell check creates a false sense of security? No, on a Word doc it's an extra few minutes at the end of your edit that catches shit it's super-easy for even a highly trained eye to miss: duplicate articles, Eastern European names missing a single z in one instance, the second m in "accommodate." It isn't any kind of replacement for a skilled human being, but it's an invaluable tool that has caught plenty of errors when I'm churning through thousands of words of copy.
On InDesign it's pretty goddamn annoying, but it serves the same purpose. I honestly think not using it is as unprofessional as depending primarily on it would be.

The Buffett one stings. Something every copy editor should have engraved on their brain. (Applies to Jimmy too!)

Mother of all. I hoped I had not read about this in several weeks because they solved it and everything was okay now. This is terrifying.
