I'll give you a for-instance

Ever wonder what the big deal is with having to edit an article or two every week?

I log in to Kol Torah, I know I have to edit Chaim ______'s article. Here's the email:

"Warning: the following dvar torah may need editing in the extreme because Chaim does not grammer well but he tries. "
And then the attachment.

Well, I open it up, and here's the first sentence:
"In parshat Vayishlach we see our fore farther, Yakov, preparing for battle with his brother, Esuv."
Let's analyze this for a moment:
First of all, capitalization. Not the biggest deal, but Parshat should have the capital P. OK, moving on.
"We see our 'fore farther.'" Um...fore. farther. Fore is what you yell in golf when you're going to hit someone or something. Farther is more far. Maybe Yaakov is farther away from golf. Or maybe it's a typo and it's really fore father, so Yaakov was a really bad golfer. Or maybe it's four father, and I don't want to know what that is...though he did have four wives...
So apparently, our bad-golfer Yaakov Avinu is preparing for battle with his brother, Esuv. What's an Esuv? Maybe he meant Eisav. Or maybe he meant it like Ebay, so it would be E-SUV. Maybe Yaakov had a car for a brother. A real gas-guzzler at that. Well, we do know that Eisav was pretty famous for guzzling himself, so maybe it's an indirect reference or a metaphor or something.

Now, clearly I'm exaggerating, but this is seriously every Dvar Torah I get. People, this is not so complicated. We ask you to write an article, not an IM conversation. If I published this, I would get stoned by an angry rabble. Or rabbi.

Therefore, every week I take a full half-hour to hour for each article (depending on length and screwed-up-ness), with the result of less sleep and less time.

Welcome to every Wednesday night...
