Political Discourse Fail

Huffingtonpost always has spirited commentors. But this one takes it too far:

"This is truth about both political parties."

Should read: This is the truth about both political parties."

The first doesn't even sound correct.

Facebook Pet Peeve

This is a small thing, but it is a pet peeve when people don't have a verb in their facebook statues.

For example, "Ellen so happy and so excited!" showed up on my newsfeed this morning. Ellen is? Ellen was? 

I'll never know. 

Final Week

Many people's facebook statuses are about how many finals they have.

Many announce the number like this: "Susie has 5 finals left!" "Tim has 3 more!"

Friendly reminder: In this case, numbers less than 10 should be written out. School is almost over, good grammar isn't.

Fashionista Fail

As any fashionista knows, it's Christian Louboutin, NOT Laboutin.

It's just a misspelling, but come on Marie Claire-this is suppose to be your speciality.

Word Fail

DUin page 24

Reads: "Would I have come attended the games after I saw how they played?"

Should read: Word fail. either come to or attended, but not both.

Duin, page 23

Reads: "The cool thing was that, I learned it in one day."

Should read: No comma needed.

Sunday Morning Fail

Duin, pg 18.

Reads: "Change out of your Sunday's Best."

Should read: "Change out of your Sunday best."

Don't need to capitalize best, and we don't need possession on Sunday.
