Crap advice

This cover of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's Living section was featured in AdWeek.

Well, I guess suit happens.

On the mat again

Ah, 'Quality' Mats. Welcome back.

I see you've not returned to apologise for your last gaffe. In fact, you've brought even more with you this time.

Well, your five seconds is now up and, without doubt, you've made 'a lasting statement'.

With the unnecessary capital letters and incorrect punctuation marks (or lack of any punctuation marks) there are no less than fourteen errors in your first sentence.

Which, actually, should be two sentences.

Oh, and it's whose, not who's. Nor even whos.

You're welcome.

The recent bad weather has had a serious effect on West Yorkshire's road system.

According to the BBC, it appears that the A635 has turned into a very long road leading from Last Of The Summer Wine country directly to the little-known tiny Welsh hamlet of Clsoed.

The great thing about reading rather than, say, watching TV is that it allows you to use your imagination.

And who better to fire it than Stephen King?

Aagh! Out, damned imagination! Out I say!

It wouldn't be so bad, but... locked? Sounds like a wrestling position.

You may have heard about the brouhaha surrounding the proposal by Mid Devon Council to abandon apostrophes in street names from now on 'to avoid potential confusion'.

Yes, I know. Idiots.

Well I don't intend repeating all the arguments here but, while endeavouring to discover more, John H was bemused to see this headline in Saturday's Daily Telegraph.

So, is The Telegraph trying to be clever here? Ironic? Sarcastic even?

John doesn't think so. He says, 'I can't believe it's not a deliberate mistake, but there's no footnote or reference to the headline in the article, and it's not yet April 1st, so it must be a genuine typo!'

I agree, John. Its a typo.
