Adam: Okay. This thing is writing itself. I can't believe people get paid to write kids' books. Kids will be dazzled by my brilliance. Look at my forward. Nick: "Thanks to the noble commitee for their consideration." What the- It's spelled N-O-B-E-L!

Adam, you deserve the Nobel Prize just as much as the President did. (Be fair, people, the President never claimed he’d earned it; at most, he hoped he’d turn out to deserve it.)

As a professional typesetter, I can confirm that all too many people (even educators, who should know better) send in manuscripts with their foreword titled “Forward.” I sometimes feel like screaming to the world that as a noun, a “forward” is what you get when someone passes a message they have received on to you. The “WORD” (expression of the author’s intent) that goes beFORE the rest of the book needs to be properly titled. Clever of the cartoonist to sneak this pet peeve of mine in, and I wonder how many people never even noticed?!
