WHAT??

All I do is write on a blog. It's certainly not professional, and no one pays me for anything I do here. (In fact, no one pays me for anything I do right now. Interesting. I should work on that.)

In any event, as an unpaid, non-professional blogger, I feel totally fine making fun of weird sentences and headlines in the commercial media. I know I'm not perfect, but some of these people need to try a bit harder

Here are some of my favorites I've seen lately:

• Headline: Men who have cancer more likely to die from it (Ed.: uh, yeah, men who have cancer are lots more likely to die from it...than men who don't...pretty sure we're missing something here.)
• A line from an article: Brunch said it's remarkable that Berger survived--at least more than half of people whose hearts stop die.  (Ed.: Really? At least more than half of them??)
• A line from another article: The Disaster Preparedness Commission met biannually some years, but there are gaps in which there is no record of a meeting. (Ed.: Please, google "biannually.")

Is it just me? Has law school made me too critical in my reading? Or do we just have a lot of sloppy professional writing on our hands?
