Reading: Editing in the NY Times (CU4 M1)

Even professionals make mistakes though, and it is good to read about their errors to avoid making them in your own works. Here is a blog by Philip B Corbett, the associate managing editor for standards at New York Times, who is also in charge of The Times’s style manual. Each week he finds grammar mistakes in the Times and posts a blog with the corrections. Please read each of the linked articles.
