    Could it be a case of "been there, read that"? :p

    Isn't it just quicker to skim read? How is it that if your name is in a document it really stands out at a quick glance?

    Did you know that I am an editor, and when I'm proofreading, I read aloud slowly to catch things like that?

    Should we judge you harshly on any typos you make given we know that you're an editor now? :p

    Are you asking about the Rick and Morty which is an American adult animated science-fiction sitcom created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon for Cartoon Network's late night programming block Adult Swim; which follows the misadventures of cynical mad scientist Rick and his fretful, easily influenced grandson Morty, who split their time between domestic family life and inter-dimensional adventures?
