New Yorker

I'm used to reading the New Yorker over a week so I didn't really understand how long it takes to get through in a sitting. It takes me about a day.
I sent a correction email to the editor about something I thought was a mistake. There's no reason why this should be my first one except that I happened to be near a computer. They had an architecture article that made a comment about an architect saying he would be the first person to design a building he'd never see. This contradicts what I know about major works of the past.

Update: I've sent a few more notes but had no responses.

Digital Dictionaries

It would be nice if they kept a list of the words you looked up. I looked up a few today and they'll all be gone by tommorow or later this evening. I could also look at the categories of words I don't know. I already know I have problems with architecture, plants, fish, clothing, and food.
Some of those I looked up today bombe, hillock, politesse.

Update (December): I no longer have any idea what these mean.
