Yeah, I saw that. I am glad, although my feelings about Steve's book 
are pretty much unchanged - not buying, even with the edits. However, 
I finally got to reading Melissa's book today and it surprised me and 
not in a good way, I am sorry to say.

I had only read like forty pages on my subway ride home and, well, I 
feel bad saying it and I hope that I am not coming off as a 
hypocrite, being ESL speaker and all that, but pretty much every 
second paragraph makes me cringe.

I am not sure if it is a totally subjective reaction, but to me the 
sentences just do not flow. I mean, I do love what she writes about 
and I most definitely finish it, but well, it is not a smooth read to 
me, at all. I mean, I loved Melissa's articles on Leaky, pretty much 
all of them, not sure what it is with the book.

Wierd.
