We exist because the world of professional writing/editing, particularly the online world, is either shamefully understaffed or worse, underqualified. We do not exist to snark on the grammar of amateur individuals. However, if you get paid to write or revise writing for a living, you're fair game. Let the hunting begin!

Oh AP, whatever shall we do with you?

Well, our friends at the AP are at it again. When perusing an article titled, "Charges reduced for 2 Jena suspects," the following sentence grabbed our attention:

"Shaw himself has dreams of attending Gramling State University." (emphasis ours)

We have never heard of Gramling State University, but the article's author assures us it has a strong writhing program and an outsanding marching band.

This blooper earns a C for Creative Spelling and the following Drunken Proofreading rating:
**** (four stars) - Yesh, I take thish waterbottle everywhere I go. It'sh water. No, you can't have any.
