I have no idea what your rambling post is supposed to indicate, but the word usage in the FOX sentence is CORRECT!

Why would they use the possessive form to ask what activities are available in Miami?

Stop trying to sell your products - you are clearly not a good spokesperson! Sorry!

What is THERE to do in Miami is PERFECTLY CORRECT

I have caught myself doing something like that, usually from just typing too quickly, but that is why every piece needs to be reviewed by an assistant editor, editor, etc., for correct spelling, grammar, tense agreement, etc. For an error that egregious to slip past everyone is inexcusable. It is really embarrassing to see commie news networks like the three stooges and CNN to shop up Fox like that.

>I was in the gym yesterday.<

And it had FNC on? No gym in L.A. would ever have it on or the libtards would throw a hissy fit.

You have to remember that the text in the moving banner is created by voice recognition software ... not someone typing! You get a lot of crazy things because a lot of words sound the same! FOX isn’t dumb or stupid ... the voice recognition software is just not human!

Journalists are pretty lose with the language.

Despite the fact that I like Fox News for its straightforward reporting, I've noticed that some of the anchors use poor English. The other night I was watching Fox News and one of thier news anchors kept using that ubiquitous malapropism “...you know” over and over again. I can't remember her name but it was one of their seemingly unlimited roster of good looking young blond women (no it wasn't Megan Kelly). She just kept saying “you know” over and over. It sounded really terrible. It was embarrassing.

A FOX commentator actually said "a whole nuther problem" - had to change the channel. They're, there, their are always hacked up, worse than to or too.

Way to much talking. That's not who I was going too. What is there channel? I here it was allot of fun. This is as hugh and series as having you're beeber on stune.

“...that every child must have an IEP (Individualized Education Plan”

That’s just for kids who are in the special ed program. FWIW, teachers are NOT pushing for all kids to have an IEP.

Eye have a spelling chequer
It came with my pea sea
It plainly marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea
Eye strike a key and type a word
And weight for it to say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait a weigh
As soon as a mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the error rite
Its rare lee ever wrong
Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased to no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer told me sew

The spell check in most word processing programs is to blame for much of this.

Would it be bad form for me to point out a typo in the article?

“It’s gibberish, It’s what you get from an education elite that always defends slang, fuzziness, bad grammar, guessing, close is good enough, the non-teaching of everything, and the never memorizing of anything.)”

There should either be a period at the end of the first sentence instead of a comma, or no capitalization of the word “It’s.”

Just sayin’.

Ditto on the voice recognition software. For some fun, tune to ESPN and turn on captioning. You’re guaranteed 10 or more of these gaffes per minute. Good times!

[Deagle]

Sounds like you are describing the results of today’s liberal education system. If that is what you are trying to do, bravo...

[MissMack99]

News outlets outsource their writing and editing to non-US countries like India. They don’t care to do any job correctly, IMO.

Well said. Teachers should be paid by the free market, but there is no free market. Maybe we’ll see one after the default.
