Slippery slop

There’s an amazing article on Yahoo! Shine. Amazing in the variety and number of sloppy errors one writer can make and inflict on the public. From the overly punctuated quotations here:

candy 1

and here:

candy 2

to the unnecessary and duplicated words here:

candy 3

There’s a mysterious expression that defies explanation:

candy 4

And the use of a zero instead of the letter O:

candy 5

WTF? How does the writer not see this little bit of HTML when proofreading?

candy 6

Silly me. Clearly the writer doesn’t proofread, because if she did, she’d notice that this is the wrong word:

candy 7

Injecting a little humor, the writer continues with the slop:

candy 8

Not that this is the worst error ever, but a missing article here makes the whole sentence a tad awkward:

candy 9

Poor Dad. He’s deserving of a capital letter here:

candy 10

Humor again! I love it! The writer was hoarding the hilarious homophonous errors, but is sharing them with the reader:

candy 11

This slippery slop may just get the writer a jump-start on reconsidering her career choice:

candy 12
