Professional deformations

I almost started fixing the punctuation of the information sheet for the cough syrup I started taking today. I spotted a missing coma somewhere in it... but I realized what I was about to do just before I grabbed the ballpoint pen. :D

Ah, I take it this was an information sheet for a cough syrup you were TAKING! I get it, I get it. I also can't help myself sometimes. My boss writes in longhand on lined paper, long instructional uh, letters. It drives me nuts that she uses textspeak in the midst of them: "U must do such-and-such". O RLY? When you're too lazy to write? Oh, yeah...

Yes, exactly the cough syrup I started taking. I should have been more specific. I'll edit the entry to say that now.

Yes, that feeling is very familiar. :) I've been volunteering as an editor of somebody else's translations into Bulgarian (from Spanish, for my sins!), which doesn't help with my professional deformations at all.
