[Alicat]

According to Publishers Weekly, NewSouth Books plans to release a version of "Huck Finn" that cuts the "n" word and replaces it with "slave." The slur "injun," referring to Native Americans, will also be replaced.

Oh geez, 1997 me would be SO applying for this.  If there were, um, blogs in 1997.

That said, if anyone hears of top-level copyediting opps in SF, I'm always all ears.  My gig with TIME is gratifying in many ways, but in blunt terms: every year I'm in NYC is another year I'm not in SF.  And I miss home sometimes.

Should it be "Death to Al Juice"?

because I know a guy, Al Juice, and although I wouldn't want to kill him, he's a dick.

Aww c'mon man, pineapple juice ain't that bad.    But yeah, orange, apple & grape juice can all die

what about Cran-Apple?  would you kill that, too?  and what if the juices are carbonated, like the Martinelli's apple juice?  What about beverages which  "contain(s) 10% juice?"  How would this anti-juicist deal with them?

You see, it's a complex issue.  I plea for moderation on all sides.

Haha, well played, rad!

Bwahahaha!  The Dr Pepper folks deny there's prune juice in it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who's heard that famous rumor.
