What’s the deal with Gluten?: Typos in the Nuwz…I mean News

January 3, 2010 Leave a comment

The Huffington Post has published a very informative article about gluten and its disruptive effects on the body. Little does Dr. Hyman know, typos have a disruptive effect too…at least they do to me. :)

Simply eliminating this insidious substnace from your diet, may help you achieve lifelong vibrant health.

I love that alliterative phrase, “insidious substance”. The misspelling of substance I could do without though.

To learn more about my body, I recently underwent an elimination diet wherein gluten was eliminated for about three weeks. On the day that I reintroduced it, I found that I had to pee urgently and often. I suppose that means I have a mild-severe reaction to gluten. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

huffingtonpost-logoOff the front page of The Huffington Post, the short article, “Stewart Responds to Hannity’s Apology: Nothing’s Worth Sitting Through His Show,” has a few typos I, as a slightly obsessive compulsive copywriter, must correct.

Earlier this week, Jon Stewart did a segment on Sean Hannity’s health care protest coverage in which he revealed that the Fox host had used footage of a different, larger event to make gathering look more impressive.

What I would have written:

The second THP typo:

“He” came came out on stage to take a bow and…

What this seasoned freelance copywriter would have written:

And there you have it. Linguistic perfection.
