Check out Jeff Jarvis, he of 'Dell Hell' fame, chastising the Times for a redundant word.
I'm drunk with power at the very thought of it. Mwah-ha-ha!
They say that each page will have “somewhat fewer words,” which is really bad editing; there are either fewer words or there aren’t; “somewhat” is meaningless and a grammatical waste of one of those precious words left behind.Imagine if we can entice this man, arguably the world's most powerful blogger, to fight for our cause.
