Pretentious or too much time on my hands?

27 hours ago I emailed a journalist taking issue with his word usage in a recent article. I don't live in a big city so we're not talking The Boston Globe but the paper is not The Stars Hollow Gazette either.

No response.

Here is the article. What do you think I should do? Write to the editor? Start a letter writing campaign? Just let it go?

I'll link the article first but I'll wait a little bit to post my letter because I want some unbiased thoughts.


Man admits he had sex with child for five years

By Douchebag who didn't write me back

TROY – A 32-year-old Rensselaer man will spend 15 years in prison after admitting Thursday that he sexually abused a girl for almost five years while she was between the ages of five and 10.

William Sheldon pleaded guilty to first-degree course of sexual conduct against a child before Judge Andrew Ceresia and will also serve 20 years post release supervision and must register as a sex offender.

"I had sex with her," Sheldon told the court.

Officials said Sheldon abused the girl, and three others all under the age of 13, between Sept., 2006, and June, 2011, at 85 Aiken Ave., Rensselaer.

Assistant District Attorney Katharine Hemann said prosecutors are in favor of a plea in the case to avoid a trial where the children would have to testify.

"I'm going to accept this plea because the victim's family is satisfied that they will get closure in this case and spare the victim from testifying as to what this man did to her," Ceresia said.

Sheldon was originally indicted in January on the charge he pleaded to as well as predatory sexual assault against a child and endangering the welfare of a child.
