I&;m sorry, do you people have anything else better to do than talk about the spelling and word phrasing in someone&;s blog? I feel for you people. You need to get a life. Maybe you should question the Huffington Post&;s editors.

After I read the piece, I tried to post this reply. I doubt it will get past the censors, so . . . enjoy:
The quality of your writing washed out what you tried to say. In no particular order:
Kris, ditch the passive voice. Please.
If you make your living in the mass communications business, you should have learned by now that you must not, cannot, and must never use the verb "to be", in any tense, in any form, in your work. The Russians, and the Klingons, get along fine without it.
Do you see anything wrong with this sentence?
" . . . The Malibu Presbyterian Church that I passed every time I drove from the Valley to Malibu was vanished."
Mmm hmmm . . .
I would rather avoid the cross-town rivalry thing, but . . . if you call yourself a proud daughter of Troy, then the Westwood types have nothing to fear. I graduated from UCLA decades ago, as a math major, no less. My small chunk of text flies rings around your stuff. Now, I did strain a little to avoid "to be", but still . . . it flows/reads better than your piece.
I&;d like to know how you landed your jobs, while I must look hard for mine. Tell us in another piece, after you learn how to write.

According to HP, she has a Broadcast Journalism degree. THAT explains everything. I work for a Los Angeles TV station, and the writing the comes from some of the "writers" and "producers" where I work is , at times, embarrassing. Broadcast journalism, in general, is infected with a high level of carelessness. After all, "it&;s on, and gone" and most viewers are watching with half a mind anyway. It&;s unfortunate when such an infection spreads to the print world.

Perhaps "track(s)" refers to Amy Winehouse and all the other celebrities in rehab. Thanks for keeping the world safe for copy editors. And kudos on your Press Club award!
