Yes, I know I just posted an entry last night, but I had to post again. Please feast your eyes upon this:
Grizzly? Seriously? They think a bear attacked the man?
No. They meant “grisly.” Come ON!
The good folks at the Savannah Morning News should be ashamed. It appears Arek Sarkissian II compiled the information for the article. I seem to recall he also enjoys putting in an ampersand in the college’s name.
LOL

Have you seen the commercial on TV for some college where there is a lady talking about how she went to school there and then her sister went to grad school. She misuses the dreaded “and I” TWICE in the 30 second spot. Does anyone care any more? Are there editors out there?

No, but it sounds dreadful. I tell students in my classes that they should be happy to see things like that. It means they will always have jobs!

And why is “tight-lipped” hyphenated in the headline and not in the first sentence?

A very good question. Maybe you should write to Mr. Sarkissian and ask. I already wrote to him about his bear.

An ampersand in what college’s name?
;-P
Seriously, to be fair, I don’t think the article implied in any way that a grizzly is suspected as the perpetrator of the slaying; rather only that the grizzly discovered the body, yes? Presumably said southern Georgia grizzly was out for a jog and happened upon the mortal remains. I just don’t see what your gripe is here.

Or maybe it is “Grizzly Monday” like “Wacky Wednesday,” and the bear gets half-off margaritas when he brings in a human bone.
