Maybe this is tripping it up? It should probably be "network's". Otherwise, it looks fine to me. Actually, "netwrok's" might be fine, too. I'm on a lot of cold meds right now.

Liese!
Calli, first of all, I hope the cold meds are working and you'll feel better soon, and second, spell-checkers are shouting at me even when i don't switch the "o" and "r"s of the networks in such sentences, so it's not that, but thanks for catching that typo anyway!
Now, how do I phrase "I corrected the typos" in a sentence that's more formal and longer than four words?

Nilly, add something about proofreading for grammar and punctuation?

"I proofread and corrected typographical and grammar errors" maybe?

AP Style: Apostrophe S after a single letter, e.g., "mind your p's and q's." No apostrophe for the rest, so it's IDSs. That looks very weird, but I checked and the patent office uses IDSs.
FYI, Perkins, Chicago 14th agrees (and doesn't use it after singles either).

Stuff that you'd think wouldn't be news, but is: New Hampshire passed gay marriage again. (Yes, you're right, they legalized it a month ago - but then the gov lost it for a few days and then didn't veto it but said he wouldn't sign it either unless they included wording changes that would cover stuff that was already covered in the bill. Go team random obstructionism! But now it's passed again and he's supposed to sign it this time.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks Megan.
Hey, since you aren't on LJ much--I am going to be in SF next Thursday the 11th. Want to meet for a drink or dinner after work?
