Why is EVERYTHING so stupid?
Do you ever ask yourself this question?
Does it seem as though the world around is getting dumber, and you are the only one who notices?
Case in point: Time Magazine announced their Person Of The Year today.
Ebola Fighters. Yay, hooray! They deserve it... Wait! Fighters is plural, not singular, it should be "People," not "Person"....
It may seem like I am nitpicking, but look at like this:
Time Magazine is well respected, not some hack-wit fly-by-night operation.
In order to get a job there, you would have to be a decent writer.
Also, you would most likely have to have a degree.
If you have a degree, you would have to pass English 101.
If you passed English 101, you would understand how truly awful this cover is.
Additionally, there are editors, who should have caught this
There are graphics techs who should have caught this.
Furthermore, print media is a throw back, it is dying, being replaced by digital formats. When your product is facing extinction, you should be extra careful not to make dumba$$ mistakes like this, especially not on the cover.
I am not criticizing the Ebola fighters, or anyone touched by such a horrible, and gross, disease.
I am commenting on the death of grammar, syntax, and common sense.
William Shakespeare is rolling over in his grave.
