Good for a laugh

This morning’s San Francisco Chronicle has this article in it with an amusingly captioned picture. For fun, find all three errors in the caption.

  1. It's all in the first sentence:
    - A steer can't call for "her" calf.
    - Need a comma between Oroville and California.
    - The herd may have heard the "steer," but I doubt that the "heard" heard it.

    And I don't happen to think that agriculture-business should be hyphenated.

  2. I think the 'steer' is really the calf, too.

  3. Pete S: You’re right about the first sentence. I skipped over the comma between city and state because the trend in writing is to clean it up of superfluous punctuation. Sometimes I myself personally skip commas. The hyphen is unnecessary.

  4. Susan, now that you point it out, that "steer" does look pretty young!

Be nice. I'm sensitive.
