Spotted in Brio magazine. Girl's cruise? How do they decide who the one girl is who gets to go on it?
When I was getting college mail, I remember one college advertising itself as "one of Latino's top choice for college." I seriously regret not calling the admissions office to ask how they managed to make the acquaintance of THE Latino and learn his higher education preferences.
eta: As a commenter on Apostrophe Abuse pointed out, "get-a-way" is also hyphenated incorrectly. (Get which way?)
Forgive me but this a place where "Techie Girl Get's it Right!"

Yes, Somnite, I want to hear more about this!
ReplyDeleteHave you read Eats, Shoots, and Leaves?
Q - YES and I thought it was absolutely wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, talk about a pet peeve. That, and it's versus its. People so seldom get it right, and the sad part is, it's a 50-50 shot even if you just guess. I guess its just an unlucky grammatical feature :-)
ReplyDeletethere is simply no excuse good enough for published work that goes unedited!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, MMSG's AFV appearance was through PHAA. It was more like a huge gang up on somnite grammar lecture. It was actually my mistake. Anilee knows.
ReplyDeletemermaid - I could not agree more.
