Or at least take him out back and beat some sense into him.
Paragraph seven: “… prolly crooked only at the neck …”
“Prolly”? “Prolly”? Since when did using such a word become common, even legal?
Good grief! I guess it’s part of the internet way of writing, but … From a newspaper editor? “Prolly”?
“Prolly” is as bad as “supposebly.”
Temptation to say, “Are you stupid?” occurred every time I heard someone say “supposebly.” Manners got the better of me.
“Supposebly” presumes (supposes, if you will) that “supposeb” is a word.
But “prolly” … There is no supposition except for ignorance of the laws of grammar; a supposition that a user of the word connects with readers (and I suppose he would connect with the stupid ones); or that the writer just flat does not give a damn.
“Prolly.”
And the editor has the gall to insult someone else's writing?
