Does The Towerlight have an editor? I ask this because of the ubiquitous mistakes I see all of the time in opinion pieces. To quote Lisa Johnson’s March 10 opinion piece, “Before anyone could say anything about their [sic] experiences, she made sure that we all knew that it was illegal.” Later in her insightful commentary, Ms. Johnson opined that, “No one wanted to admit that they [sic] themselves had ever smoked pot…”
Also in the March 10 edition of The Towerlight, Rob Scheer, in his sagacious indictment of Bush’s social security plan, said, “If one were to invest this money into the stock market, and make one poor judgment, they [sic] could drastically diminish any money they would have post-retirement.”
Also in the March 10 edition, Kristi Funderburk lamented the quality of Towson’s professoriate, stating, ” Every semester I have at least one professor who goes out of their [sic] way to make sure…”
Later on in her luminous commentary, Ms. Funderburk said, “We have proved [sic] we are capable of meeting university standards (if so, her grammar would seem to belie that) before and we will strive to meet those standards to stay here.”
Anyway, the writers for The Towerlight should retake English 101 and pay particular attention to antecedents and pronouns.
