logolepsy (LAHG-uh-lepsy): noun - an obsession with words

Freelance writing and editing services, courtesy of Matt Alderton, freelance writer, editor and logophile.

Matt Alderton should have been born with a red pen in his hand. In grade school, he was the best speller in his class and the only kid who knew how to properly use a semicolon. In high school, he was the only Spanish student who actually knew what the words "conjugate" and "subjunctive" meant. Today, he's a full-grown editor who regularly spots spelling, grammar and vocabulary errors on restaurant menus, in everyday e-mails and even in his peers' published articles.
