Too Many Commas

‘Inclement’ Is Good, Right?

Today’s Digital Wall of Shame is a double whammy.

First, and most impressive, is the fact that the headline writers clearly were unsure about the meaning of “inclement.”

While the headline reads, “Travelers should face inclement weather,” the first paragraph says, “According to the National Weather Service, Mother Nature appears as if she’s going to cooperate with dry weather conditions this weekend.” So … “inclement weather” means “clear and dry” then?

Second, a little bonus for you in the form of a lovely typo in the second paragraph. Apparently in Michigan, people are “lcelebrating” all over the place. Spell check is your friend.
