My media English-usage watch begins this week
June 21, 2009
Dear Charo,
Rather than just be a passive spectator of serious English misuse in the major broadsheets and TV networks, I have decided to start my own media English-usage watch to help their writers and editors fight grammatically and semantically fractured English. I have therefore created a new section called “My Media English Watch” in Jose Carillo’s English Forum, and I trust that you’ll find its maiden effort to help curb serious English-usage atrocities in media not only instructive but enjoyable as well.
A story explaining my rationale for “My Media English Watch” leads the Forum’s new features package for this week. I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading the other stories in the package at your leisure when you’re done with your English shoptalk inside the Forum.
Here’s the full story lineup:
THIS WEEK IN THE FORUM (June 20-26, 2009):
•My Media English Watch: Pockets of Atrocious English in Philippine Newspapers (Time for the print media to start or tighten their own internal English-usage watch)
•Advice and Dissent: 1-Millionth English Word Promoter Calls His Linguist-Critics “The Horror!” (He hits back at them for calling his word-count “hokum”)
•Essays by Jose Carillo: The Tree of Life (Thank heaven for PCs, laptops, and Broadband!)
•Getting Deeper into English: Kurt Vonnegut’s No-Nonsense Advice on Writing with Style (And he meant it not only for newspaper reporters and technical writers!)
•News and Opinion: Business Executive Proposes Longer Basic Education in the Philippines (But will it improve the quality and employability of our graduates?)
•Getting to Know English: Lesson #8 – Rules for Preposition Usage (Grammar things you wanted to know all this time but were too embarrassed to ask!)
•Time Out from English Grammar: What Malcolm Gladwell, King of Pop Social Science, Has in Mind Next (He’s thinking of writing “a really nerdy book”!)
See you at the Forum!
With my best wishes,
Joe Carillo
