Even robots aren't safe from ebolaby: Romany Howes (29 October 2014)
Do I ask for much in terms of grammatical correctness? No, I don’t. What I do ask for is a HYPHEN now and again, purely to clarify a meaning. Look at this headline that I happened to come across online: WOW, that Ebola virus is more powerful than the authorities are letting on! Can it really kill robots? Is it that powerful? What hope is there for us all??
Then I looked harder and, being a proofreader by trade, added a hyphen: Ah. Now it makes sense: to combat the Ebola virus, some hospitals have introduced a special purpose virus-zapping robot. If you can’t do it yourself, use a proofreading service and save the world from mass hysteria and panic. ![]() Views: 1089 Other articles on Proofreading and Punctuation, spelling and grammar |
