Sometimes I'm given some odd things to write about - apart from the odd
things I write about without anyone handing them to me. The following
line came out of the blue today, and on first glance doesn't appear to make
much sense: Good
Yamaha Stagepas 300 at Musicians Friend. (The lack of an apostrophe
didn't help either.)
I thought at first it had something to do with a stage-pass, and that
someone had left the second 's' off, and was giving away 300 of them. But
apparently Stagepas is a brand name. So there you go, something
else I've learned today. Something else to file away in the non sequitur
folder, the same one in which I've just found this statement, which applies to
revision when you're writing: Non sequiturs. Although these can occur
with no help from technology, they are another by-product of sloppy
word-processing. When text gets moved around, new transitions are sometimes
needed to connect the dots.
Yup, we've all been
there. I've managed to do it inside blog posts as well.
