Copyeditors' delight: A site called Mr. Rewrite

This clever blog's description: Spelling, grammar and usage tips served with a dash of humor. (But shouldn't that be: Spelling, grammar and usage tips -- served with a dash of humor? Note: addition of em-dash.)

    What a useless, hateful blog. (The Rewrite one, not this one!)
    If you care about copyediting (and you must, or you wouldn't bother to read a blog about it) and also appreciate dry humor, read John McIntyre's blog on the Baltimore Sun Web site: http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/news/mcintyre/blog/

    Also, it should be copy editing. It's two words on this side of the pond.
