Thinking men… hmm.. brings to mind a whole lot of connotations. When are they going to do one on thinking women? Unless, of course, Xiaxue is counted as one, then I will graciously abdicate the stage to her. And perhaps lose all hope.

Btw, editors need to be shot – grammar and all. Not to mention lack of political sensitivity – check out the forum pages.

And not to mention my recent brush in with the ST makes my entire journalistic side twitch.

I wanted to comment on that: the ‘thinking men’ bit. I found it strange that they used ‘men’ instead of ‘people’. It also struck me that the article was framed in a manner which suggested that most bloggers don’t think.

Speaking of which, fellow thinking man, your blog hasn’t been updated in ages. ;) C’mon, I promise not to let CMPB know that you’ve not done a day of reservist.

(Ooops.)

Sigh…mistakes in the written form. Now I’m afraid to write anything down. What happens if I say ‘Equipments’ and ‘Stationaries’? ‘Thinking men who blog’- what if you were a woman? Thinking men…hahaha.

Heh.

They make so many mistakes, I should start a “Media Watch” category. Something like the “Media Watch” programme on ABC but just covering grammar/spelling/factual mistakes.

Hey, talking about editor oversight,
there was this photo of the miss universe in either sat or sun ST papers.
The pic was of Ms M’sia and Ms Japan(as can be seen by the words on their sashes), but the brilliant comment at the bottom was “Ms M’sia and Ms Taiwan”. Obviously the guy who did the comment was looking at some other place. Lucky wasn’t a pic of Ms China and they call it Taiwan.
