LEST WE FORGET

PROSE BY THE PROS

I have not cited the professional writers lately and do not want them to feel I am neglecting them.
Identify and correct the errors in the following sentences.


Example 1

"County Road 25 north of County Road 46 is lined with dozens of mature trees on the road allowance. That's what Chevalier would like to see more of."
Gary Rennie, "Farmer takes on county after trees mowed down." The Windsor Star, Wednesday, October 24, 2007.

Example 2

"Most often, though, trees are located on the side of the ditch furthest from the road, with occasional exceptions made for mature trees that are left alone even though they are technically too close to the road by county standards."
Gary Rennie, "Farmer takes on county after trees mowed down." The Windsor Star, Wednesday, October 24, 2007.

WORD OF THE DAY

The word for today is "flippant".
Define "flippant" and use it in conversation.
