Me again
Then there's playwright and play-writing. [Isn't all such writing a form of play?] Censor and censer, both of which can get heated by times, not to mention sensor, which can detect the heat of the second one or the movement of the first. Or, my personal favorite, the mistype that confuses q and g, thus giving us plague for plaque and vice versa. Then again, it can be horrific - except to a dentist - when one is plagued by plaque.
The copyright issue can become extremely contentious. Here in Canada, the creator of the work is automatically assigned copyright to it, with or without formal registration. I will be posting some of my poetry here, but have already submitted and/or published it elsewhere, so it's a matter of public record that I own the rights to my work. If you're a journalist, I assume that your employer has first publication rights to whatever you produce on company time, and probably reprint rights as well. I'd imagine that you keep any of your personal property off the office computer!
Anyhow, you've given me considerable reading pleasure. Thanks! ~ faranya
