Repeating myself

All of the examples of style errors in this week's post were made in the last seven days. And these are errors I've written about several times before, in e-mails and in this blog.

I have an important question for writers at The Forum. What can I do to get you to read these posts regularly? Obviously, because of the number of repeat errors, that isn't being done now. One suggestion is to name names. But I don't think that would go over well.

Example one:
Raw copy, wrong--"nearly hour-long hearing"
It should be--"nearly hourlong hearing"
AP Stylebook also says it's daylong, monthlong, weeklong.

Example two:
Raw copy, wrong--"coworkers of convicted"
It should be--"co-workers of convicted"

Example three:
Raw copy, wrong--"work part-time after school"
It should be--"work part time after school"

Example four:
Raw copy, wrong--"there are more than 800 Edible Arrangements franchises world-wide"
It should be--"there are more than 800 Edible Arrangements franchises worldwide"

Example five:
Raw copy, wrong--"an email and telephone scam"
It should be--"an e-mail and telephone scam"

Example six:
Raw copy, wrong--"the school board accepted the resignation"
It should be--"the School Board accepted the resignation"

Example seven:
Raw copy, wrong--"says fifth grade teacher Rob Beer"
It should be--"says fifth-grade teacher Rob Beer"
