It shows that you actually pay attention to detail "Mateo", With that said Try reading into the comment ! Have you ever heard of the word/term "Sarcasm" ? Well I have a nasty habit of employing it in all of my posts . Think of it as a puzzle where as you are the one responsible for "Desiphering" (deciphering) it ! Get my "pooint" (Point)!!!

Jen, this is well-deserved. Congratulations. You certainly keep me wired into what's going on in New York. I marvel at how you manage to do it so successfully.

Okay, how about this, then. To honor and thank us commenters, how about fixing the comments system so that 30-50% of all comment attempts don't result in useless error messages and often double postings?

Yes, I saw this! (I'm a WIRED subscriber). Congrats. But good lord with all the "haters." Who cares if there's a spelling mistake here and there. Man, it sounds like a there's a lot of people out there that graduated with an English degree, and then realized that their only career option is to be a high school English teacher. If you want perfect spelling and strict AP Style Guide usage, go read the Times. If you want something worth reading about NYC, stick with the -ist!

it's like criticizing grammar on the internet, when your grammar sucks.

Congrats Jen! This blog does talk mostly about Manhattan and Brooklyn much more so than Queens, The Bronx and Staten Island.

This award should have been given to her maybe 2-3 years ago, but the quality of Gothamist reporting has really gone down hill, especially this last year. Also, this site is really only trained on your backyard if you live in Brooklyn. It tends to be Brooklyn-centric

I knew it was only a matter of seconds before someone would slam the editing. Congrats, Jen, and the whole gothamist staff. I'm willing to overlook the occasional typo or mixed up word if it means I get the stories I care about faster, and I wish the rest of your readers could say the same.

"Chung keeps her sites"??? Umm, sights???

whatever

Tue, 24 Apr 2007 11:21:31 -0500

Now that she is an award winner, she should be required to read through her posts once before posting. Seriously. All she has to do is read it through once and she'll catch the errors everyone on here brutally points out. ONCE! This isn't amateur night anymore. Hold yourself to a higher standard.
