"We have the right to refuse serve anyone," should be, "We have the right to refuse SERVICE to anyone," or, "We have the right to refuse TO SERVE anyone."


" ... can be adjusted upon requested," should be, "... can be adjusted upon REQUEST"

I got both of those from the menu of the "3 Bros. from China" restaurant in Pleasant Hill.



This is from my Cases in Communications book by Zelezny.
The sentence reads: Respondent publishes American Opinion, a monthly outlet for the views of the John Birth Society.
This is a GFE: It should be "the John Birch Society"


This is from one of my sister's high school text books. I can get the name of it if you would like me to, but she's in school right now and isn't texting me back.
The sentence, show in two consistent pictures, is: Your purpose to kill me.
That isn't a complete sentence. It should say: Your purpose is to kill me.


It says " ... student that is majoring in broadcast journalism who shown ... "
It should say " ... who has shown ... "


My next three corrections come from this book.


IEE should be IIE for the Institute of International Education.



From Edward R. Murrow..., there should be commas before and after the word "officially" and it should read: Although, officially, its assistant director ...


This is also from Edward R. Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalism by Bob Edwards. It should be written as: Alger Hiss'



Hapiness should read: Happiness. Plus, I have no idea why all those words are capitalized. I found this in a newspaper back home in Pittsburg. It was probably the Contra Costa Times classifieds.



This one is from Cases in Communication Law by Zelezny. "Hays" is actually supposed to be "Hayes."




This is from Mass Media Law, by Pember. "Nonconfidential" should be "Non-confidential," according to the AP style book.





The bottom of the 1st picture and the top of the second picture: "Names not commonly before the public not should not be reduced to acronyms solely to save a few words."
It should say "Names not commonly known before the public..."


Didn't get to take a picture of it, but in the "One and Done for SJSU" sports article in the Wednesday March 11th, 2009 issue of the Spartan Daily there was a GFE!
Under the picture it named "Chastity Shavers" but in the scoring chart it read: "C. Shaver"
So, I am not sure which one is wrong, but one of them is!



On Prof. McCune’s blog Mike commented:

“Just passing by.Btw, you website have great content!”

The main correction is to change “you website have great content” to “your website has great content”

If you want to be picky, there needs to be a space between “by.” and “Btw”

And if you want to be even more picky, spell btw out as “by the way,” but this is a casual comment on the internet, so “btw” seems acceptable.
