Copy Edit the World


Words in red are errors

1. Ninersnation.com: "I recall hearing somewhere that McCloughan (or maybe it was Nolan) didn't hav much interest in doling out big cash for guards, thus the reason Justin Smiley walked."
Correction: The word "hav" is misspelled. It should be "have". (2 points)

2. Cancun Taqueria Menu: "* Includes your choice of one ;:;rtree. All entrees are serve w / rice choice of beans, corn or flour tortillas, Queso fresco, Guacamole, nopales salad, chips and a salsa bar."
Correction: The word ";:;rtree" is completely messed up. It is supposed to say "entree".
(4 points)

3. Butter Restaurant Menu: " DUCK, GOOSE AND CRIPSY PORK "CRACKLIN" SALAD"
Correction: The word "cripsy" is misspelled and is supposed to be "crispy". I was very surprised when I saw this considering the chef who owns this restaurant is very well-known.

Oh well, just because you can cook doesn't mean you can proofread.
