We discovered this flat-out faceplant on foxsports.com in an AP article titled, um, "After 104 years, Havard sheds light on football." (emphasis ours)
As you can see, astute reader, we didn't get very far before we found something alarming. We would like to believe that this titular trip-up is a tribute to the dialect of the citizens of fair Cambridge; we would like to believe it, but we don't.
Our dear friends at the AP can add to their many accolades and accomplishments the following awards from The Grammar Wall of Shame:
C for Creative Spelling
Oops! Is My Lazy Showing?
They have also earned the following Drunken Proofreading rating:
**** (four stars) - Yesh, I take thish water bottle everywhere I go. It'sh water. No, you can't have any.
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!
