Excellent game. Great article. They had a couple kids that were hot but our guys got the dub. Great prep for later in the season. The SEC slate will be rough. Too many good teams now. The 2013-2014 team was epic looking back.
My niece from Boston flew into Gainesville with a connecting flight thru Charlotte with the Gator team.
Two questions: 1) Do we no longer use the Gator private plane? 2) Did your niece get a photo with Ollie?
Nicely written article about this game! I enjoy articles that have been proofread prior to release, like this one. It’s nice to see tenets of good journalism these days. Well done Mr. Harry!
I’m a stickler for grammar and punctuation on things I read; I must have missed any on this article. There was a previous article (not by Harry) that couldn’t have possibly been proofed.
I did some proofreading for a company years ago. It was tedious because often it appeared the author had little desire to write with attention to grammar, punctuation, and even spelling. I did this late at night after working all day. Our children were young and we needed the extra $$ but it wore me out.
I completely understand your points. I think you would not like the bad times and time restrictions required to proof read these articles. It’s a good idea though!
Oh. I don’t understand what they say. Like “K”. What a timesaver not having to type OK. Call me old fashioned, I don’t care.
Journalism barely exists in major media these days and I’m not sure people know how to write anymore. We are so proud of our daughter, who majored in Journalism at UF. She truly is an unbelievable writer! Sure, she has a gift and is a natural but she worked at it.
Spell check is a useful tool but it is no substitute for proof reading. Anyone working as a professional journalist that publishes stories in the pubic eye needs to proof read it of have another person do it before it printed, whatever that means today.
I wasn’t going to rise to his peevish post. Gotta laugh - and he’s sorta right. No one but me really cares what I think here. We all just gassing’…
When people paid for subscriptions to newspapers the companies could afford to hire copy editors and editors. I doubt UAA pays anyone on the writing side other than their publicist
Congratulations to UNC for exhibiting a similar comeback against UCLA Saturday, but this time closing the deal. Something they couldn't do against the Gators Tuesday in Charlotte, despite having 95% of the crowd behind them
1:30, actually … and with no copy editor (in my newspaper days we had 2-3 read it before publication). Yeah, mistakes happen on deadline. I try my best to report and tell a story creatively, quickly and cleanly. I rarely bat 1.000.
Jeff Phillips said he would proof these GC writers pro bono. Seriously, I would do that too if needed, I could obtain great info and post on GC for recognition and inside knowledge!
