      Top Newspaper's poor grammar

      What do you think of The San jose Mercury News' running the following headline:

      Revises likely for new budget

      Last I checked, "revises" is verb, and the noun form that our friend, the newspaper, is looking for is "Revisions."

      "My love is nailed to the cross" - St. Ignatius the God-Bearer
      “Prove your love and zeal for wisdom in actual deeds.” -- St. Callistus Xanthopoulos

      Journalism school is useless. Make journalists take English language classes, or better yet, go write for a small-time newspaper and see if they can help it turn a profit.
      In reaction to Richwine Affair, all right-thinking people are quick to proclaim that they don’t believe in a genetic basis for IQ. They’re much less quick to explain – with any sort of precision – what they actually do believe in. At best, we’re treated to some hand-waving paired with the phrase “social construct.”.
