Yes, its time to put the SCRIBBLE technique to rest. You know what I'm talking about, don't you? Most Mainstream Americans (except those who had Mrs. Harrison for Grammar) grow up thinking that when they make a mistake while writing (in pen) that the reasonable thing to do is scribble, scribble, scribble, scribble until all the reader can see when looking at the whole page is this big blarring blob of scribble! Forget what ever else is on the page. Your eye can't get away from that hideous mess. This applies to anything from shopping lists to job applications.

So "One Line Thru" day has been established to heighten public awareness of the new visually UN-offensive technique of simply drawing ONE horizontal line through your mistake. Of course, if you are one of those people who accidentally writes your REAL SS# on your I-9 form for work, and realize that you meant to write the FALSE one that you bought from that guy down at the corner by the tattoo parlor, then I can see how the scribble technique must be implemented. So for you we celebrate our new Home Land Security Act! The INS guys will be visiting you soon.

Don't forget to mark your calendars for "National Don't Use Your Spit to Wet Your Fingers When Sorting Someone Else's Pages Before You Set Them On Their Desk Day". Does it seem like I have work related "issues'?
