Column: SICK!

Abstract:
There are very few good things that come from being sick, but the way I see it, being sick is one of the most humbling experiences. Three days ago I woke up with a slightly sore throat.

Again, this is not a difficult concept to understand. This opinion piece is called a column and should be labeled as such. Misleading your audience is never a wise decision.

For further clarification, let's consult the dictionary:
Editorial (N): a newspaper or magazine article that gives the opinions of the editors or publishers; also : an expression of opinion that resembles such an article *according to merriam-webster.com

Ineptitude (N) : the quality or state of being inept; especially, incompetence

Despite your petty attempts to discredit my character, the point remains the same. A newspaper should not mislead its audience. A paper should pride itself on accuracy. By labeling this an editorial, people could construe this column as the opinion of the editorial board, which has the duty of representing the view of the entire newspaper.

This isn't about being pompous. This is about being accurate. But it appears incompetent people like yourself don't really care about that.

I'm sure George Orwell is now spinning in his grave at someone anonymously assuming a) one of his creations, and b) his real name, as his online handles and harping on about so-called incompetence. Jeez, man, I'm all with you that 1984 was a bitching book, but you need to get a life.
