Learning while proofreading

Yesterday morning, I received my first proofreading assignment. I'm doing a cold read on an erotica title. [Insert immature giggling here]

I got home this afternoon to find out that Josh was going out (yet again) to imbibe in some spirits with his classmates from NYC Teaching Fellows.

So what did I do? I ordered a pizza and read erotica.

Interesting tidbit: There is a species of trees called shittah trees and the wood from these trees is called shittimwood. You learn all sorts of things when you're reaching for the dictionary every few minutes to verify spelling.
