Maybe it’s the result of a tight deadline. Maybe it’s the product of too many margaritas the night before. Whatever the reason for the errors in this excerpt from Yahoo! Style, readers are bound to notice and judge:
Readers might not notice (or care about) the capitalized Queen. But if you follow the Associated Press style (as well as the style edicts of other authorities), you don’t capitalize queen unless it comes directly before the queen’s name.
Anyone is bound to notice that you’re left to fill in the blank between Middleton looked and in. It’s kinda like Mad Libs. “Gimme an adjective!” I’m going to suggest disheveled. Or maybe sesquipedalian.
Fashionistas wanting to clone the duchess’ style will be disappointed to learn that there is no Locke & Co. selling a Marisbel hat. There is a Marisabel hat offered by Lock & Co., though it retails for considerably more than $1.40. It’s Frisbee-like in its shape. And by Frisbee I mean that plastic disk that gets thrown around as well as the trademark that gets thrown around as if it were a common noun.

Queen Elizabeth does seem to fancy peach – I’ve seen many photos of her in that colour (a nod to our English cousins).
Europeans like to use periods instead of commas for thousands-separators, I don’t know if that virus has spread to England.

The price on the Lock site (which the writer links to) is in pounds and the equivalent is $1,400. I’m pretty sure this writer doesn’t know that a period is used in some areas where Americans would use a comma. Anyhoo, she’s writing on a U.S. site, so she should stick to U.S. standards.
