Copy-editing the world




In this article, posted on CNN.com, a correction can be made on the second paragraph on the second line. There needs to be a comma after Tuesday night. Also, you can put Steve Johnson's name in front his title, since his title consists of more three words.



Also found on the CNN website, is an error on article about Robert F. Kennedy's assassin. The sentence says, "failed to seek self help program and his behavior was immature." The sentence doesn't clarify if it's more than one program or the only program. The syntax of the sentence is off, and needs to be clarified.



The quote that is being used, uses a semicolon instead of a comma and is written incorrectly.
