MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A state lawmaker, worried about a recent string of deadly school shootings, suggested arming teachers, principals and other school personnel as a safety measure and a deterrent.

Irony would be so much less fun if there weren't people who were incapable of recognizing it.
I've been wrestling with editor's notes, and don't really get how to do them smoothly. It's hard to describe. I want to accept some changes, reject a few, and then there's highlighted suggestions for added text from my editor. So I'm having issues doing the note, then deleting the comment, then accepting my own changes...it's confusing.
Honestly, this would make me insane. I'm not wired to handle that kind of editing. I'm a cut/paste/delete/oh hell just copy the whole document to a fresh file clean and make the changes there and ditch the old one -uh, person. I understand how things like the track changes can be useful. Really, I do. But you can't make me like it.
OK, how soon would I be able to commit to the January trip? hyperventilating. Thinking about usual holiday expenses and my stupid neuroses. Thinking about warm sun in Janufuckingary. And chicken from a truck.

I saw the trailer for this one! The Substitute with Tom Berenger.
Do you have to use Track Changes, Allyson? Can't you submit a new document with the changes made (or not), as sarameg suggested?
Please tell me they aren't letting the gym teachers carry guns.

Because a whackaloon who's already written and sent off his suicide note is going to slow down because somebody somewhere in the building already has a gun. It just means he packs more ammo and clears his path.
I do love Track Changes. But I begin to hate it when other people publish documents with the changes unaccepted.
This is me.
Allyson, if you want to make the changes you want to make and ignore the ones you don't, I'll be happy to clean it up after you - if you want.
(Good lord - I have no English skillz. What I'm saying is that I can go in and clean up once you're done editing.)

Now that is just hilarious. Something worthy of a Daily Show segment.
I do like track changes, though earlier this week I had to use it to demonstrate the result of multiple rounds of accepted changes on the original document.
