About Leslie »

Leslie Lao is an editing intern for Bleacher Report.

Her editing style includes a near-obsession with adding commas, adding em-dashes, and writing in "short paragraphs and sentences". She is anti-comma splices. (Example: Leslie doesn't understand why people like writing like this; it's not her cup of tea.) Feel free to argue or appeal any strange editing Leslie does to your article—you're probably right—or horribly, horribly wrong.

Read this and school yourself: http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html#errors

Based in Las Vegas, Nevada, Leslie snowboards, triathlons, and half-marathons (and apparently, invents verbs). Sports has played a huge part in her life, beginning with winning MVP of her 6th grade JV basketball team—at a menacing height of 4'10".

Now standing at 5'5" tall, Leslie enjoys watching basketball and football on television, preferably with a stiff drink in one hand and the remote control in the other.

I really don't like to pimp articles, but since this isn't Pro Wrestling, I figured those outside the WC might not see it. Hope you enjoy:
