Newsday Website Editing

 

I don't know who edits the Newsday website.  Check out these two stories that appear on the front page of newsday.com.   Here is the first one:
 
Is it me, or should the headline read "Why water has become a commodity"?   And here is the second one: 
"With a historic harbor"?  I know it has become a matter of preference, but it really should be "With an historic harbor."  Perhaps I am just being a little picky on this one, but the first article, with the headline "is become," is just ridiculous.

Don't Use Cup Holders While Driving


Seriously. That's what the manual for the 2005 Nissan Maxima says. "The cup holder should not be used while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation." Additionally, the sunglass holder "should not be used while driving so full attention may be given to vehicle operation." I suppose if you are driving and you are suddenly faced with sunglare, it is safer to just deal with it than to reach up and take your sunglasses out of the holder. At least they don't warn against using the sun visors while driving. This is what gives lawyers a bad name, because you know the attorneys at Nissan were behind this.
