Mangling English: an occasional rant

Businesses that don't bother checking their websites, journalists who write gibberish and balderdash, professionals who can't take the extra time and effort to spell-check and proofread, newspapers that turn tragedy into farce through solecisms, plus the odd guide to solving common grammatical difficulties… Contributions and suggestions welcome. (… Also corrections if required, obviously!) Send to: manglingenglishATgmxDOTcom, stating your nom de mangle (if desired).

Random inclusion and omission of commas from the blurb on the Wheelock’s Latin website:

Link: The Official Wheelock’s Latin Series Website

It’s not apparent whether this error has been taken from the blurb on the book, but comparison with the similar text (but dissimilar punctuation) on the Google Books information page suggests not.
