Grammar Alert

I frequently see grammatical errors in written advertisements, newspapers and magazine articles. We’re constantly reminded of the number of adults who cannot read and how important it is to read to your child.

Just as important is the need for “correct” role modeling in the written media. I too often come across incomplete sentences on billboards and in magazines. Please proofread your material more carefully before you print it. You’ll be teaching the people who read it.

Editor’s note: Hochman wrote the colloquial “shoulda,” which was erroneously edited to “should of” instead of “should have,” which shouldn’ta happened.
