More article/noun mismatches, today from the world of clothing. This one comes from a blog:
Link: Katy Werlin, ‘Head to Toe: A 14th Century Woman’, The Fashion Historian (10 March, 2011)* |
This unintentionally humorous description is from an article in The Telegraph, but seems to be quoted from a press release:
Link: The Telegraph, ‘Ryanair: extra baggage and lower charges herald customer-friendly upgrade’ |
* The statement is factually as well as grammatically mangled. Amongst other authorities, Françoise Piponnier and Perrine Mane observe that ‘[b]raies […] were worn exclusively by men’ (Dress in the Middle Ages, trans. Caroline Beamish. New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1997, p. 41).
