These are the things that many consider "nit-picky, but that just PISS ME OFF.
The following sentence was the second one in a headline article on ESPN.COM
"Speaking to WEEI Radio's Dennis and Callahan show on Wednesday, Ortiz admitted that Ramirez's tenure with the Red Sox had gone downhill."
Excuse me... WHAT does that mean? The use of the word 'tenure' there makes zero sense. Why can't "media" outlets at least exercise proper editing techniques if they can't be bothered to hire people who can write. Manny's "TENURE" can be near an end. It can be over, but it can't have "gone downhill".
Naturally there is no "by line" other than "ESPN news services".
Apparently, in addition to not being able to write proper grammar, the monkey who writes these articles can't sign its name either.
