Typos in the Nuwz…I Mean News: Burris and the Ethics Committee
Compliments to MSNBC for posting this article on their site, Ethics panel: No punishment for Sen. Burris, and the The Associated Press for writing it. Negative kudos, however, for an overlooked typo.
The Associated Press wrote:
The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee has completed its review into this matter and found that Sen. Burris actions have brought discredit on him and the Senate.
What a seasoned copywriter would have written:
The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee has completed its review into this matter and found that Sen. Burris‘ actions have brought discredit on him and the Senate.
A small correction, but necessary for grammatical perfection.
