Since I got my first Kindle, I’ve made nearly 7000 notes on 250 books.

I’ve been going through them finding patterns in the errors (they’re mostly errors) for my Well-Presented Manuscript book. I’ve reached the 1700s. Damn, it’s tedious.

If you’re subscribed to my Commonly Confused Words email list, there’ll be a big email tonight. I’ve now passed 80 items in total (you can see them, and subscribe, at the link).
