If Mr. Ambrose seems to be raiding the female extra-small selections at Abercrombie, and pairing it with some sort of questionable man-purse, it’s probably your RESPONSIBILITY to draw attention to the matter.

I’m not picking on an openly gay student for his homosexuality. I’m openly gay myself. I’m picking on the fact that he is a man who dresses like a woman, and that in my opinion and probably in the opinion of many in the sartorial world, that is not a good look.

Style guide in hand… I venture to guess, if one were to conduct a grammar audit of The Sun, Martin Ambrose would emerge a misdemeanor offender at best.

Admittedly, his column doesn’t compel readers to question the origins of the universe. Is it intended to do so? I’m thinking more along the lines of bitchy entertainment at the expense of Cornell’s fashion victims. Yes, these mismatched fools are definitely behind our steady drop in the U.S. News and World Report rankings. Please, Hermes (or even one of the LVMH divisions)! Send Mr. Ambrose some free samples! Hopefully, Martin will receive them with the intent to distrbute (well, the picked through remainders anyway).

It’s very easy to pick on an openly gay student. Martina? MTF tranny? Cheap homophobia, not exactly “good journalistic fun.” Martin, keep doing your thing. Be sure to update D. Evan Mulhill’s look over coffee. What’s with the whole first initial, middle name thing anyway?

At best, Mr. Ambrose’s column celebrates the diversity Cornell is known for. Calling all MTF trannies (a quick visual scan of Statler Hall would reveal more than one for sure)! You too can write mindless garbage for The Sun on a regular basis!

Maybe you could spot me some Zolos at our little coffee chitchat extravaganza? You could also bring your latest column, and I could go over it with red pen!

No hard feelings, by the way, it’s all in good journalistic fun… We need more feuds here at Cornell, it shows that people actually care about what’s being written on campus.

And thank you for the reminder that spell check does not fix all; I promise
the correct usage of “your” vs. “you’re” in future articles.

I’d now like to take a moment to thank my fans out there, however few they
may or may not be, because their encouragement outweighs the zing of this
“ouch”. As for your thoughts, I do appreciate your enthusiasm for my work
despite the negative nature of your opinions.

I almost think you should, like, not have to be anonymous! Though I don’t
see a friendship in the cards, I’d welcome a chat to further discuss our
journalistic endeavors over coffee. It just seems so impersonal for one of
us to share our ideas while hidden behind a computer screen and veil of
anonymity when Spring is in the air! So call me if you’re interested in
meeting face to face - Spring is coming, we could even meet outside
somewhere!

Take care. Wear deodorant. Try Zoloft!

The “lastly” is wrong for reasons of parallelism, you’re right.

And the “they” is something I stand by. Yes, grammatically, it’s a “he” or “she” but I don’t feel like guessing the gender of the Sun’s copyeditor. I think the they is a nice (if incorrect) stand-in for not making judgments about gender.

At least my errors aren’t on the level of grammar school writers…

This week’s “The Bias Cut” with Martin Ambrose. A couple [of] preliminary notes: first, we don’t get your column’s name and we never will; second, looking like a transgender MTF is not fashionable; lastly (sic), we think the Sun’s copyeditor hates your column so much they (sic) won’t touch it.
