Quote

I know plenty of copy editors that are fully aware of their role as editors of one text at a time and who don't claim to be guardians of language. They are not peevologists. They don't feel attacked by mistakes and they don't hope to change all language into one register. They respect decorum and they trust that most users do so as well as they do.

The peevologists are looking to change something that will not change. They seek a power that is not theirs and they express frustration based on a sense of entitlement that is not only arrogant but irrational. They hope to change the rotation of the earth and live with constant frustration, throwing stones at every sunrise and sunset.

— Michael Covarrubias (wishydig)

Web Development Tools team blog

My homies on the Web Development Tools team -- the folks who brought you Visual Web Developer and Visual Web Developer Express -- have started a team blog.

Cute picture, although it's kinda small. :-)
