Today’s glitch:
How it should look:
The last government official on Earth, a meter maid, vows to maintain law and order in a post-apocalyptic world.
Why it should look that way:
Earth, when it refers to the planet/world rather than dirt/land, should always be capitalized.
On the other hand, meter maid should not be capitalized.
Since law and order is a commonly used phrase, it’s highly probable that order is the word missing after law and.
(WordPress’ spellchecker wants me to replace maid with made. *shakes head*)
About Thomas Weaver
For several years, I’ve been putting my uncanny knack for grammar and punctuation, along with an eclectic mental collection of facts, to good use as a Wielder of the Red Pen of Doom (editor).
I'm physically disabled, and I currently live with my smugly good-looking twin Paul, who writes military science fiction and refuses to talk about his military service because he can’t. Sometimes Paul and I collaborate on stories, and sometimes I just edit whatever he writes. It's worked out rather well so far.
My list of non-writing-related jobs from the past includes librarian, art model, high school teacher, science lab gofer… Although I have no spouse or offspring to tell you about, I do have several cats. I currently spend my time blogging, reading, editing, and fending off cats who like my desk better than my twin’s.

Is the meter maid’s name Rita?😀

I hope not — I’ve never been a fan of that particular Beatles song. On the other hand, if someone like Judy Hopps is in charge of the story’s setting, they may be okay after all.
