Questioning bad punctuation
I have found another really bad bit of punctuation. This is a heading from a full-page advertisement in a cycling magazine. It is for a cycling clothing company with a line of women’s jerseys that support breast cancer research (the giving back):
Are they questioning their own commitment to breast cancer research?
I can’t fathom why the magazine editor allowed this egregiously sloppy copy into the magazine. It makes the advertiser look stupid and doesn’t reflect well on the magazine either.
