Indeed! I also tend toward doing two things - reading a paragraph out loud if the language is troubling me or the flow of the conversation doesn't work for some reason, and rereading the paragraph after a day or so just to make sure that I haven't let my eyes skip over anything because I haven't been paying that much attention to what's going on. No matter what, if I edit on PDF, then edit on a hard copy, and read out loud some of the key paragraphs, I'll always catch SOMETHING I don't like or that needs to be changed.

I also play World of Warcraft and periodically scream into different conversation channels, "'LOL' IS NOT PUNCTUATION, YOU KNUCKLE-DRAGGING HEATHENITES!", but I definitely think that's more of a Sisyphian effort.

Awesome, guys! Thanks for the kind words. Every so often I'll go on a tear and scream out loud to the heavens, "I WANT YOU TO LEARN THE ENGLISHES!" Enough years converting ESL writers' work into legible English gave me a healthy respect not only for the challenges of localization and writing in your non-native language, but also a healthy dislike of lazy American spellers.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one out there who feels fingernails down the chalkboard of their soul when someone uses "LOL" in a business communication.
