A long time ago, during a performance review, I had a boss tell me that although satisfied with my overall performance he was disappointed in my writing skills. In fact, he directly told me that writing was my Achilles' heel. Fair enough. I'm no Shakespeare.Well. I just finished reading the final version of a manuscript that he wrote and submitted for publication in an international journal. The manuscript was riddled with typos. At one point, he (unnecessarily) used the phrase "Achilles' heel." Except that he spelled it "Achilles heal". H-E-A-L. No apostrophe. Ha! Who's the poor writer now, dude!?!?
