From a form I received via e-mail today:


If everyone would bold and capitalize their errors, my job would be a lot easier. Thanks, Time Warner!

An error that needs no introduction

I notice that 'flowers' on the right side is correct. They sure picked the wrong point size to get it wrong in.

Many thanks to Alex H. in our Connecticut bureau.

So who is waiting if it's not me?

Another double error, dear readers. The letter U and superfluous quote marks!

Jewelry store, Lexington Avenue. Gross.

No splicing allowed

Dear People Who Edit Stuff,

PLEASE stop letting comma splices into print, it hurts. Ah HA! Did you notice that first sentence was a comma splice? If not, please continue.

I just read a bunch of pieces by a certain writer. Welcome to Comma Splice City! Why are the editors not aware of these things? This is not one of those "That's just a writing style" situations, of which there are many. This is incorrect, y'all.

A comma splice is when you have a comma where a period (or possibly a semicolon) should be. Examples:

"I'm hungry, let's go eat." (NO!)
"The document is confidential, you can't open it." (NO!!)
"There's something dead in there, it smells." (NO!!!)

If you see this happening, please contact your local authorities.

Celebrate good times, come on

It's NATIONAL GRAMMAR DAY!

Everybody put yo' hands up! Put yo' hands UP! Put yo' hands UP!
