Among ourselves, we passionately discuss the inane errors that regularly find their way into print. We enthusiastically debate whether media consumers are oblivious, complacent, or just too lazy to demand accuracy. We “tweet” one another links to glaring grammar gaffes, upload to “flickr” photos of misspelled billboard messages, and post to “facebook” examples of problematic punctuation. We are alternately amused and dismayed by the rampant incompetence of advertising agencies, communications directors, and reputable publishers. We have plenty to say!
This weblog will collect and critique public language blunders, so grab your virtual red pen and join the conversation:
You know, if you weren't so thorough, we'd be able to add to your lists.

ReplyDeleteVery cool list. The way we use language is so interesting.
ReplyDeleteBecky, I sure can tell you are English teacher . . . and I am visualizing that red pen going to work on a student's essay. I'm going to be nervous when you read anything of mine!
