<p>Just thought all you people out there in computerland would like to see FM's (that's the Crimson's weekend mag) correct its earlier story (from 2 years ago) asking if we all should have just gone to Yale. Go and look at today's cover, "Loving Harvard: 15 Reasons Why We All Should Stay."</p>

<p>Oh, btw, I'm a freshman here right now, so if you guys have a few questions, I might come back on at a later, arbitrary time and answer some of them. But I do have things to do, so I won't be spending too much time on it (sorry).</p>

<p>As an incurable copyeditor, the first thing I notice is...</p>

<p>[url="<a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=509907%22%5Dhttp://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=509907%5B/url"&gt;http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=509907"]http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=509907[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p>

<p>THEY MISSPELLED "AMATEUR".</p>

<p>I'm sorry. I can't help it. I'll read the rest now... :)</p>

<p>oh jeez you're right</p>

<p>thisyearsgirl-I'm not sure what you mean. In the story you linked (as well as the print edition I'm holding in my hand), The Crimson spells it "amateur" which is correct (see <a href="http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/amature%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/amature&lt;/a> ). I thought "amature" might be an okay alternate spelling, but according to a variety of sources, it isn't.</p>

8

<p>The headline on the page I linked to reads "amatuer".</p>

<p>I'm just nitpicking.</p>

<p>You're right. I'm a goof. And I pasted the wrong link. Nice copyediting.</p>

<p>For anyone looking for the actual definition of amateur <a href="http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/amateur%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/amateur&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Yeah I saw that too. I was wondering whether it was intentional.</p>
