Post #5 - Mystery Character

The tabloids love me.  Maybe it’s the abundance of animal prints I display on my tiny 4’9” frame.  Maybe it’s my glossy, sky-high hair and orangey-brown skin.  Maybe it’s the eye-catching neon colors, sparkles, or oversized sunglasses I like to flaunt.  Maybe it’s even my partying addiction.  Whatever the case, there’s plenty to love, especially now that that I’m bringing another “me” into existence.  Get ready, world!

Copy Edit the World #2

This is from a Yahoo article. In the first paragraph it should say "March 4" instead of "Match 4."

This is the back cover of SJSU's March 2012 edition of Access Magazine. It should say "St. Patty's Day" instead of "St. Paddy's Day."

This is from a Yahoo news article.  The sentence in the middle repeats a name twice.  It says "Oprah, Rihanna, Ryan Seacrest, Justin Bieber and Rihanna have already lent their support."

This is from a church bulletin advertising an upcoming fellowship day.  Instead of listing the movies as "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Mr. Popper's Penguins" they are listed incorrectly as "Kungu 2" and "Mr. Poppin Penguin."

This is from my textbook "The Magazine from Cover to Cover."  It displays a random "fun fact" in a box in the middle of the page.  The quote cuts off at "It positions us for our" and doesn't continue the rest of the quote anywhere.

This dailymail.co.uk article reports Snooki wearing a "pink top with the words 'love being be' emblazoned across the font."  Clearly they should have written "love being me" instead.
