If, when I’m looking through the comments, I spot an obvious typo, I will often fix it.
First, because as an editor it would drive me crazy not to.
Second, because as you know I’m a very careless typist (as many editors are), and it doesn’t seem fair that I can correct by own errors while other people can’t.

Andréa submitted this as both an LOL and an Oy. And while I don’t disagree, I also think it’s a great idea. Not only do I think it’s a great idea, but a few years ago when my computer-whiz nephew needed to create a public service project, I suggested he teach older folk how to be computer-savvy. “Think about how we all have to help Grandma.”
Honestly, I don’t know whether he ever chose this project — he’s out in California, so I’m not really in the loop — but I bet Mr. Hilburn’s inspired name would have made a difference.
Why would a movie theatre possibly do this? Especially since it’s popcorn and soda sales that keep the treatre open.
And if this is some “unlimited free refills” deal, which doesn’t seem to be the case here, the theatre can’t unilaterally change the terms.

Okay, so it occurred to me… since Disney owns Marvel and Star Wars, there’s probably nothing legally preventing them from having Han Solo lead the Avengers. Or having the Black Panther and Tarzan team up.
I’m not saying this would be a good idea, necessarily, though on the other hand it could be kind of cool.
So today’s question is: What Disney/Marvel/Star Wars team-up would you be tempted to see even if deep down you knew it could be a disaster?

I wonder what percentage of Death comics begin with “Relax…”
The Half Full came late this afternoon so at the end of Week One, we stand at Death 4, Russian Clown Gesundheit 0.
With non-competing Pinocchio still at 3.
This is old so doesn’t count toward Death’s score.
Of course this is a reference to the belief that if you drop food on the floor and pick it up within five seconds it’s okay to eat. So… if a person’s been dead for less that five seconds, his spirit can go back inside??
Is it too much to expect that if a reporter for a major American newspaper doesn’t know the difference between “bearing responsibility” and “baring responsibility,” his editor will catch the error?
Or at the very least, that the online version would be corrected within the first 24 hours?
