Somebody shoot this editor!

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?
