You know, that guy some of us call "Charlie Daniels" will be there. what's especially egregious about this example is that the song titles are (appropriately) quoted, which makes the artist names blend in instead of stand out. Silly country promoters.
It is physically painful to me how many commas were used in that paragraph. If you read it in the cadence that it was punctuated the whole thing sounds very funny.
ReplyDeleteActually, the names of albums are supposed to be italicized, not put in quotes. They can be forgiven for that one, however; it's a pretty obscure rule.
ReplyDeletethe peeps who sent out this press release are renowned for horrible grammar and stylistic errors in their press releases!
ReplyDeleteAnd, Alex, if you write for the music industry, it shouldn't be obscure to you. :-) lol...
These people have NOT A CLUE
Alex, you're right. I assumed those were song titles because of the quotes, but really they're albums. tsk.
