Why Kara Swisher is More Wrong About Wronger
Slow news day? Let’s let aside the whole “Web 3.0″ vs. “2010 Web” Debate. They’re all just terms after all, right? Let’s focus on something a little more important, like the fact that an established journalist like Kara Swisher can’t use correct grammar in her titles. Let’s look at the definition of “Wronger”:
“One who wrongs someone; One who commits a wrong; Comparative form of wrong: more wrong”
Keep in mind that the only definition of “wronger” provided by Google was that one, by Wiktionary.com, something many would hardly consider a credible dictionary. However in this case, even their definition states Kara is completely wrong on this matter.
What’s the deal with bloggers, journalists, and marketers feeling it’s okay all-of-the-sudden to relax their use of grammar? These guys all have editors that check their work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to think they have all had much more English training than I have. I mean, even Apple’s doing it – what’s with the whole “Funner” theme? Does that terminology make it sound “more fun”? To me, it just makes them look stupid.
I hope Kara’s use was just tongue-in-cheek, but let’s stop this practice. It’s simply wrong.
