From The Red Line: Top 7 Misused Expressions


Freelance copy editor Kate Hamill has a blog called The Red Line; her columns run on Freelancers Union, which is where I noticed them. One thing I like about her posts is that it is great to have an authoritative answer on grammar/word issues. Judging by the funny comments on her blog posts, many editors read her pieces.

Here’s the latest one, called “Top 7 Misused Expressions.”

I’m sure I could think of a few to add, but I’m a bit depleted by Tax Day and I’m supposed to be editing, so I will hold off for now 🙂

By the way, I have yet to see anyone write “on accident.” (Shudder.)
