Headline fail: Kansas students get 'first hand job experience'

 

[Mike Dwight]

Don't sell yourself short. The first line says that "Eager students invaded businesses all over they looked for future job opportunities on Disability Mentoring Day." That's the whole story.

Hyphens matter ... probably not as much as commas.

Lady, if all you did was give him a hand job your hyphen is still intact.

Capitalization as well.

"Go help your uncle, Jack, off the horse."

So it got by, presumably, a j-school educated reporter and at least one editor on its way to the presses. Not a big deal as most readers won’t have a clue either.

First hand job experience vs. First-hand job experience. Wonder how much more money they’ll claim is needed in order to include hyphen usage into the national curriculum? $750M?...A Billion?...2 Billion?
