Here is the pilot post for this blog. I found this example on Denver's 9news.com site. The truly funny thing about this article is that the link at the bottom has the phrase correct and the holiday capitalized. Many articles written for 9News are so poorly written that I find it amazing when the intended meaning of the message is still understandable.
I found three obvious errors in the article:
- The word "tounge" should be "tongue"
- The phrase "tounge and cheek" should be "tongue-in-cheek" (again, fixing the spelling)
- Holiday names should always be capitalized, but the author has written "thanksgiving"
Love the blog. Thanks for dropping by mine. I’m going to link you.
Let’s see what else I found in this article.
1. Inappropriate use of quotation marks (“hysteria”).
2. Can the Center for Consumer Freedom really be a fan?
3. Inconsistent usage: “Nutrition information” and “Nutritional information.”
I don’t have my glasses with me right now, so I may have missed one or two. ;-)
I was bothered by the use of "nutrition information" as well, but didn't think it was entirely wrong, just oddly phrased. But now that you've mentioned it, I'll be bothered by it all day!
