Rough drafts = Yoda-speak

OK, so ... I'm editing this weekend (HURRAY!) - and killing it, I might add - when I discovered this gem in my copy:

“So … who are you to your prom going with?”

Wow. Really?  

A fine example of the brain working faster than fingers can type. And a lesson on how careful proofreading can help you avoid embarrassingly mangled dialogue such as this. 

Unless, of course, you actually are writing a story about Yoda in high school.
