Bloglander: Ybarra needs a copy editor

In the Bloglander, Daniel Walter/Inlander targets an op-ed column circulated to newspapers by Superintendent of Schools Sherri Ybarra that, apparently, is getting mocked on Twitter and Facebook. I’ll let Daniel explain:

We all need copy editors. Even journalists. Especially journalists. So, yes, there’s a bit of a “speck in your brother’s eye” quality to criticizing the grammatical errors.  I make plenty of typos, so it’s hardly for me to judge. Hypocrisy admitted. Still. The recent press release, ” Students Will Continue to Persevere ,” that Idaho Superintendent of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra submitted for newspapers to publish is a mess, filled with extra commas, subject-verb agreement errors and confusing sentences. It’s drawn mockery on Twitter and Facebook , with one commenter comparing it to a piece he’d read in the Onion . More here.
