Fine. Just keep writing about what the "Veterans Administration" is doing; never mind that it hasn't existed for decades. And how's the WPA?
|
|
"Gitmo" is not acceptable in hard-news copy.
|
|
@akuban Webster's New World says Veterans Day. Who am I to blow against the wind?

No need to escalate to semicolons in a series unless at least one item contains a comma. (First, try a serial comma you'd otherwise skip.)
|
|
Please stop using "an" with "historic."
|
|
"Last October," "last November" and "last December" make sense. "Last January" through "last September" range from ambiguous to ridiculous.
|
|
"Whack job" sort of looks better, but I guess it should be "wack job."

One of the Phillies would be a Philly. But don't ask me about "Maple Leafs."

@caviarandcodfsh Odd definition. Perplexed/bewildered is perplexed/bewildered, no matter the cause. But clearly the writer meant amused.

@Mixolyde If it's not in the dictionary, it's almost always two words as n., hyphen as adj. or v. Wire-frame glasses have wire frames.

"Bemused" does not mean "mildly amused." It means "confused." See bad mistake in third graf here: http://tinyurl.com/3jd3ye

Ayers. Ayers. Ayers. Not Ayres. E before R, if he once liked ter-ror.
|
|
Space hyphen space is not a punctuation mark.

|
Really tired of hearing "the Dow Jones industrials IS" on WTOP.
|
|
"Times as much as," not "times more." One time more would be twice as much as, and so on. In other words, they're not the same thing.
|
|
McCain's "that one" reminds me of Michael O'Donoghue referring to Diane Keaton as "this one" in the debate about orgasms in "Manhattan."
|
|
@Bill_Peschel "Town hall" bugs me, but that's what the format is called. I guess it's no more or less phony than calling this a "debate."

Obama said "green behind the ears." Plenty of Google hits, but I have to call that a confused usage. Wet behind the ears -- or just green.
