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.
