Blog 12: One Aspect of Writing
Headlines
This week we study even more
headlines! Headlines are probably the hardest thing for me. I would much rather
write the entire newspaper than a single headline, but I gave it my best shot. I
think that the most important thing to remember when writing a headline is to
make sure the most important information is there. First, read the entire
headline, then formulate the words to include the key words that will represent
the story best. I have read so many bad headlines that are misleading and don’t
include the important information. Let’s make that change!
My grammar mistake for this week has
many glaring errors. First, there is a missing article on the first line. It
should say “into a single PDF document.” The
second mistake in the second sentence is hard to pin down because I don’t know
who or what is allowed. Does MergePDF allow or does the program allow us to set
metadata? I would delete “can” so there is only one verb in the sentence. The
third sentence and mistake is a subject-verb disagreement. MergePDF is
singular, but the verb “do” is plural. It should be changed to “does.” The
fourth mistake that I see is within the parenthesis. It would be easier if it
said “meanings” instead of “means” to make it clearer.
