How many mistakes can you find in this news story?
I don't know whether this blog is about natural gas crisis management or the quality of the news story. I'm leaning to the latter.If you're not familiar with the natural gas industry, you may not catch the errors. (Hint: carbon monoxide is the byproduct of the incomplete combustion of a fossil fuel. Carbon dioxide is what we exhale when we breathe.)
No matter your answer, one thing is certain: the gas company has a wonderful opportunity to help educate the reporter, and ultimately the general public/consumers. Let's hope they do.
BTW, check out Source Gas's Website--very user-friendly.
Comments:
I found the article almost funny. Run-on sentences, "who's" , etc.
I am continually discomforted by the epidemic of apostrophes one sees in print. Some people use them for ALL plurals, and consistently mix up 'your/you're, there/they're, etc.
