Man, you should have seen all the auto-replies I got when I just sent out a leadership tips note. Good thing I didn't set up my own holiday auto-reply first or they would have been replying to each other throughout the holidays. Undaunted, I will send out a writing tips note, too, and risk another barrage.

I haven't sent out any writing tips recently, but I promise to do better in 2006 (we'll see whether that fares any better than my resolution about eating better or …)

John McIntyre, copy editing savant at the Baltimore Sun has started a new blog on language that I'm looking forward to reading and I recommend to your attention as well.

If you don't regularly receive Sree Sreevivasan's Web tips by e-mail, you should at least read his year-end column. And if you're not already proficient in Internet research, you should browse his Sree Tips web site.

And I'll close with one holiday indulgence, a self-plug of my most recent Training Tracks column, on the easiest unnamed sources to cut from your copy, if you haven't already.

I'll be back in touch next year. In the meantime, I wish you a merry Christmas, happy New Year and any other holidays you celebrate.
