Lazy Or Inept? It's Still WOWO
It's clear that no one in this market reads their finished product. Even those who were forced to attend public schools can realize that the writer of this plain, ordinary news story meant to say "the reduction of employees" instead of "the reduce of employees".
Please note and remember this news story, as it's a perfect example of why one should check their work before publishing it. Yes, those keen iPads and iPhones are great for writing news stories on the go, but beware. The Devil's in the details and goes by the name of AutoCorrect.
FWMM:
ReplyDeleteI"m getting to be a real stickler when it comes to computer-assisted "writing"...
Guess that has to do with working for a publishing company back in eh 1970s...lol.
And that was a time when AUTO-CORRECT meant YOU proof-reading YOUR work...a LOT.
Good find.
Stay safe out there.
And then there's this weird typo: "Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology is mourning the death of former president Samuel Hulbert. Hulbert served as president from 1976 to 2994, the longest tenure of any president at the institute. He was 79." from http://www.insideindianabusiness.com/story/31094392/former-rose-hulman-president-dies
ReplyDeleteWondering how the guy who only lived 79 years, served as president for 1018 years including 978 years into the future.
Easy. Common Core math.
