COPY EDIT THE WORLD PART2

1. I noticed the following mistake in Carly Bossert's "Guide for Writing Journalism Profiles".

"In the end, new is about people, and profiles are just intensive and extensive looks at newsworthy people. "

THE MISTAKE : She forgot to add the "s" that belongs in "news".

to trust you."

THE MISTAKE: She accidentally added an "n" to the end of what she meant to be "a".

4. I found the following in Reyhan Harmanci's article, "Mary Roach on writing sex book 'Bonk'". It was published in San Francisco Chronicle.

"I can't exactly ask, 'Are there are women masturbating in your lab and can I come watch?' "

THE MISTAKE: The author accidentally used the second "are" in this sentence in an awkward and grammatically incorrect way.

5. I was looking up dream symbols on Dreammoods.com yesterday and found the following error in one of the descriptions.

"To dream that you are kissing someone else's boyfriend or girlfriend, indicates your wish to be a relationship and to experience the energy of love."

THE MISTAKE: The word "in" should be between the words "be" and "a" in this sentence.

6. I found the following mistake while perusing menshealth.com. The article I found it in was titled, "How to Avoid 5 Dating Pitfalls", and I couldn't find an author's name on it.

"Later, ask her if there any unresolved issues."

THE MISTAKE: There needs to be an "are" between "there" and "any".

7. I found the following mistake in an article in March 22's Edition of the San Jose Mercury News. The article? "Magazine to let readers choose content; Effort to mimic online news feeds" by Ryan Nakashima.

"Online advertising, through growing, hasn't generated enough revenue to offset declines in print."

THE MISTAKE: The author obviously meant to use the word "though" and somehow got an "r" mixed in somehow.

8. I found this one in the Mercury News as well. The article is, "Solyndra gets $535M federal loan; Fremont solar-panel maker to use funds for second factory, add 100,000 jobs" and was written by Matt Nauman. It was published on Monday the 23rd.

"The the company applied for the funds in 2006, but the process..."

THE MISTAKE: The author put two "the"'s where there should have been only one.

9. The San Jose Mercury News is full of typos! I found this in Monday's (the 23rd of March) edition in Larry Magio's article titled, "Follow me as I 'tweet' on the value of Twitter".

"But despite the fact I've been "tweeting" for several months and consider myself relatively hip to the tech scene and culture, I have admit there is something about Twitter that I don't fully "get".

THE MISTAKE: There needs to be a "to" in the middle of "have" and "admit" for this sentence to work. In other words he should have said "I have to admit there..."

10. I found the the following error on the Ruritan National Foundation's scholarship application.

"If the questions does not apply to your situation, place N/A in the application blank."

THE MISTAKE: Whoever wrote this should have written "don't" instead of "does".
LINK: http://www.ruritan.org/publications/grantApplication.pdf

11. I found this in an online advertisement for a book called "Should You Stay Or Should You Go".

"We're also no usually taught anything about our emotions and how to deal with them that we're aware of."

THE MISTAKE: There should be a "t" at the end of that "no". It should read "We're also NOT usually..." instead of "We're also no usually..."
