they're really fukken dumb screwups like that extra "them" and they're absolutely everywhere. the guy's just relentlessly sloppy.

it would be all right in something like a forum post, it's completely inexcusable in an article, on or off the internet.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

Read backwards. The mistakes stand out more that way, because your brain doesn't edit the text to see what you're expecting to see.

Also, tell him to proofread his stuff before he sends it to you.

looks like there's been some cleanup but there are still plenty of technical issues (extraneous capitals, missing apostrophes, "zuckerburg") and the sheer everything-and-especially-the-kitchen-sink bulk of jokes and tangents is as suffocating as ever. you need a real editor for this stuff, fckgw.

like i said before, i'll happily do the job if you pm me.
