Here are a few things I found while browsing the internet* today. I’m not linking back to the source material but there’s a good chance using one of those fancy search engines may get you there.
On a review of a monitor: “The most compelling thing about this display, of course, is its screen.”
I would hope the most compelling part of a monitor would be its screen. I suppose if the stand was built out of moon rocks or something that might be even more compelling than the screen, but let’s face it, there aren’t many monitors with moon rock stands out there.
On an article on blog writing tools: “Want a hard copy of this blogging tools list to take with you wherever you go? Sign up here [link], and you’ll get it in your inbox within a week.”
I would be very curious to see how the author manages to get a hard copy (physical sheets of paper) delivered to a person’s inbox (virtual email receptacle). Perhaps the author is too young to remember when everything was hard copy. Here’s a suggested rewrite:
Want a printable copy of this blogging tools list to take with you wherever you go? Sign up here, and you’ll get it in your inbox within a week.
This will be either my last post of 2016 or one of my last posts of 2016. I promise to be kinder and less sarcastic in 2017. Promise!
* yes, technically I mean the world wide web; I’m covering my butt here because of the pedantry in this post
