Do words like ‘mellifluous’, ‘lascivious’, and ‘dearth’ get you going? Are you fastidious when it comes to the potential inferred meanings of some specific phrasing versus a slight variation? Do you pour over important emails before sending them, endlessly tweaking, adjusting, and perfecting your writing?

Did it bother you that in the last sentence the correct word was actually ‘pore’ instead of ‘pour’? If any or all of the above is true, then you may be exactly who we’re looking for.
