Redact what?

Redact it! What does that mean exactly? I didn't really know until I looked it up in the dictionary. I guess it means to put it in writing or, ironically, to take it out of writing. The way I came up with the title was by recalling a fun quote from The Office. Here is the quote:
Jim Halpert: Dwight tried to kiss me.
Michael Scott: What?
Jim Halpert: And I didn't tell anyone because I'm not really sure how I feel about it.
Dwight Schrute: That is not true. Redact it. Redact it!
Jim Halpert: Well, I'm not actually making a formal complaint. I just really think we should talk about it.
I am not sure if he meant to say retract or what the deal is, but it has been a household saying for a few years, at least in our house. I guess the purpose of the blog is for me to redact things and also for you to tell me what I should redact in whichever sense of the word you feel is appropriate.

  1. "Redact" usually is used when talking about a written document. It means to change information (perhaps by removing sensitive information) before publication or to remove text from a document.

    So he's sort of using it correctly....but not really. I think you're just making fun of him because you know he loves Count Chocula. You're an anti-Choculite!
