It is possible your job could be outsourced to someone if someone volunteers to work for less. And I am surprised this has not happened yet except the weather has been good so most people are out hiking and not reading this. In this case, working for less would of course have to mean that the employee would pay us for the opportunity to be an apprentice proofreader, and this could very well happen given the pristege and honor that the position brings. Hence you are welcome to "give a little back" if you believe you are already overpaid and are worried your job could be outsourced to Timbuktu. It is tax deductible. If you don't believe your are overpaid, well, then you should probably examine your morels and update them. In the times of the pyramids, they did not need grammarians since everything was done in hieroglyphics. It was a dangerous job for sure to build pyramids, but without the glory and pristege that being a grammarian brings. Name today one pyramid builder? See? You can't. The pyramids are famous, the builders not so. The only real danger for a grammarian is if an unabridged dictionary falls off their desk and lands on their foot. This would probably be worse than dropping a pyramid brick on your big toe. This can be avoided by always keeping the dictionary at floor level.

But the dangers of the unabridged dictionary are now reduced because the entire thing fits inside the Cloud. Of course the new danger is that while consulting said dictionary you will be sucked leg-first into the wormhole that enables you to see it. But either way you still work for zip. It's the new business model...

I do not work for Zip, I work for Uber. Attention aspiring grammarians and apprentice proofreaders. You may want to attend this Seattle Street Scrabble event. Will it get you the job? I can't say, but it does look good on the resume.
