Re: Today’s print column
I am aware that the reader who quoted a lyric from the folk song “Little Boxes” took liberties with the wording.
As he put this inside quotation marks, I assumed it was what he intended. So I correctly quoted him misquoting the line.
If I had it to do over, I would query the reader in more detail about his intentions.
In any case, Slice readers mentioned this and they were right to do so.
