Ack! Running out of red ink!

Help! I’m running out of red ink! There are so many errors in this article on Yahoo! Shine that my computer and my brain can’t handle them all. It starts with the first sentence, where a dangling participle indicates that the stars of TV were growing up:

I guess that could happen, but it would make more sense if it were the viewer growing up watching TV stars. I’m just sayin’.

Ugh. Did this writer really watch TV, or is she just making stuff up? Mallory wasn’t the middle sister on “Family Ties”; she was the middle child in a family with one son and two daughters. And she wore Fair Isle sweaters and laid-back styles:

No, no, no. There are no hyphens in the verbs “mixed and matched.” There just aren’t. And adding them is kinda kitschy:

Image

I think the writer has confused the character Mary Richards with the actress who plays her, Mary Tyler Moore. Kinda a careless (or worse) error:

Image

If a gal is from the southeastern portion of the States, she’s a Southern belle, with a capital S:

Whew! I think I need to go Office Depot and buy some more ink. Just in case this writer decides to inflict another article on the reading public.

It’s not kitschy: Make a slipcover from your clothes!
