Copy Edit the World pt. 2

1) Taken from an article from pr-inside.com titled: "New Fil-Am Literary Magazine Requesting Submissions from Youth."

The TAYO Literary Magazine aims to empower Filipino American youth through various forms of creative art. By gathering varied literary and art work from young children to college students and beyond, we will produce the
first independently published magazine that explores the Filipino-American experience.

The style book claims that proper way to write Filipino-American is with a use of a hyphen. But either way, this article has a error because it used Filipino-American with a hyphen and one without. That is inconsistent and is a mistake.

2) Taken from the English Department Newsletter.

Nov.17: Last day for December graduates to submit theses to Graduate Studies Office, WLN125

Feb. 2, 1998: Last day for August or December 1998 graduates to submit approved programs to Graduate Studies. You must see me to fill out the appropriate form. To be safe, do it before the end of the fall semester.

The bottom of the newsletter lists some dates and information. Within the list, missing periods made the document inconsistent. Some of the items of the list had periods while others did not. The sad part is that this newsletter came from the English department.

Whoa! I think Professor Yamato forgot to use spell checker! Some of the mistakes he had on his CV were simple ones. He misspelled a couple of words. He also forgot to capitalize the "o" in October. Overall, spell checker is still important!!!
