    Slip into a comma.

    Human error is beautiful. Human error gave us fireworks and potato chips and made Lucille Ball and Buster Keaton funny. It gave us the Long Count, the Immaculate Reception and Kansas City's only World Series title.

    Human error should be guarded against in the specific but embraced in the general. I'm vigilant against typos, semicolons and other errors, but what could explain my having this job in the first place beyond some kind of cosmic mistake?

    I have to call you on this one. You're apparently not so vigilant on commas, as in there should be one between "Reception" and "and".
