Find the Error 47
(Extract adapted from an article in a local party political mailshot)
What kind of mistake do you see? (Choose one:)
- apostrophes
- articles
- doesn't make sense
- punctuation
- singular / plural
- spelling
Answer: punctuation
The punctuation mistake in this example can be found in the last sentence,
where there is a single space missing between the words 'Mr' and '&'. It
should read: '… Margaret Smeghurst handed over first prize of a bottle of bubbly
to Mr & Mrs Halliwell …' It is important to remember to put a single
space between each word in a sentence. In this example, '&' should be
treated as a separate word ('and'), even though it represents 'and' as a
symbol.
