THE STRANGER NEEDS A NEW PROOFREADER

This is a permanent, part-time position. Applicants must be available to work at The Stranger office on Capitol Hill 11 am-8 pm Mondays and Tuesdays, plus the occasional Friday.
If you know the difference between mantle and mantel and are willing to experience the tooth-pulling joy of our proofreading test, send a résumé and brief note of introduction to amykate@thestranger.com. No phone calls, please.

"intriduction"

is that part of the test?

A new ROOFREADER, huh?

Yeah, I guess so.

No one gets my humor.

hire the lolcats people.

Finally, someone who could clarify just as to when the punctuation mark should go within a quote, versus outside the quote!

Hey, you took my advice!

@5

That was quick, and you are even paying them. How about a "thanks to Jude"?

i got it amy kate, and i thought it was cute. i knew there was no way on earth you made that many mistakes, let alone missed them.

I would be sooooo there, if there were any way I could live off an 18-hour a week job (or adjust my current job schedule so I could do both). In fact, that's kind of my dream job. (I know, how sad is that?)

Dang it!
