And to celebrate, here’s the first issue of MEvember. It’s new and improved, especially compared to the print version. We admit to a veritable TypoFest in the print edition. We haven’t had this many typos in one issue since that one time when Al-Qaeda captured our entire editorial staff and forced us to make more than a dozen tpyos. (They …
FOR CHARLIE
