I picked the March issue of Harper’s Magazine while I was scouring my local Publix store for Hot Cross Buns, a Damn’d Yankee Easter Delicacy.
I was attracted by the headline Publishing On Trial, as a potential author I’m interested in anything that concerns publishing.
At home I flipped through the magazine my attention was drawn to a page titled: Harper’s Index further down I read the following statements:
"Percentage of college students who are ‘prioritizing’ working for job stability/74
Who are ‘prioritizing’ working for a recognizable brand/41"
Shame on you Harper’s there is no such word in the English Language as “prioritizing” & I further suggest someone who is prioritizing for job stability — doesn’t know enough to be hired by anyone.
Or how about this
"Number of Crypto/Currency/ATMs per square mile in Las Angelas/4….
In Atlanta:7…."
Presuming the Atlanta is the one in Georgia its area in square miles is 135 vs Las Angelas @ 434/sq miles there are 16 Cc/ATMs in LA versus Atlanta’s 7.
