• Would that be the 1920s?

  
  — Authority:
  Keeping up with the times and spotting fashion trends? That’s not exactly what the editors at Yahoo! Shine are doing right now. They’re nearly a century late with advice on how to dress for work in the 1920s: That’s pretty much the dumbest use of an apostrophe that I’ve ever seen. The apostrophe ...

• So, it’s really NOT Abercrombie & Fitch?

  
  — Authority:
  Do the editors for Yahoo! Shine know something we don’t? Is Abercrombie & Fitch really not the name of the apparel store? Those little quotation marks really threw me. Maybe they indicate that the caption refers to a movie or a book or a TV show, and not a store. Or maybe I’ve been wrong all these years. ...

• How many principals are there?

  
  — Authority:
  As far as I know, schools have only one principal. If that’s true, why did the writer for Yahoo! Shine imply that a school in Virginia has more than one principal? I guess if there are two principals, and they sit in the principals’ office, one of them must be the principal principal. Filed under: ...

• Two of one, one of the other

  
  — Authority:
  I know there’s two of one consonant, and one of the other consonant. But I don’t remember which is which. So, I’ll try this: That’s the Yahoo! Shine writer’s pathetic attempt to spell palettes . Filed under: Misspellings Tagged: bad spelling , editing , misspelling , palette , Shine , ...

• What’s in a name? Again

  
  — Authority:
  If that name is on Yahoo!, then it’s sure to include a mistake.  Spelling a name correctly is about the easiest thing you can do as a writer and the easiest think you can verify as an editor or proofreader. So why does Yahoo! continue to make so many mistakes? Do you consider Yahoo! a credible source of ...

• Hermes: Don’t even bother trying

  
  — Authority:
  Doncha hate it when a writer gets all hoity-toity and tries to display their mastery of high school French — only to fail? That’s the result when a writer for Yahoo!

• I do not think it means what you think it means

  
  — Authority:
  Yahoo!’s writers should be forbidden from using words of more than two syllables. They simply cannot handle big words. The writer for Yahoo! Shine ‘s “The Thread” probably thinks penultimate means “more ultimate than ultimate”: It does not. It means “next to last.” Lordie knows that this is ...
