    Given how crazy people get over the Black Friday deals, it isn't dumb to charge people for access to the ads.

    And readers who cannot recall the top stories of the past 12 months are also highly likely to forget that they already purchased a Year in Review section.
    You can sell them the same special section multiple times.
    It's a cash cow that might just save the print media industry.

    Same on those two, a whole lot.

    You're not 4. It is a sandwich.

    Prolly saves you no time over probably.

    I once had an editor tell me a story would run "prolly Satty." WTF does that mean, I asked?

    This goes beyond irk

    Headlines containing an exclamation point, an ellipses or any of the following words:
    This
    Reveals
    Happened
    Actually
    Believe
    Things

    In a word, clickbait.

    You yourself did that in a post a month ago. I really don't want to post that awful photo of Golic again.
