Irony at 3 a.m.

I'm giving the issue one more red-ink going-over before bringing it to the printers tomorrow. I'm so over this. This whole editing thing. Seriously, get me out of here.

So I'm reading a product review, and a word jumps out at me. It looks wrong. I just don't know. But although my Gregg manual's in my lap, the dictionary is all the way down the hall.

Bleargh.

So I think to myself in so many words that I don't care. I really don't. I don't care how this word is spelled, and my readers shouldn't, either.

Ready?

The product review is for a proofreading workbook. The word about whose spelling I could not care less?
