Re: NYT Copy Edit Quiz 9
15 tries, but I went very slowly. Only one item took me more than one try, but several required a fair amount of thought.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Is part of the difficulty that they choose poorly written thoughts? You want to re-write the whole thing so it makes sense and is clear, but the editor is hiding one little style blip in the mess.
