Punctuation Police

The beginning of what I hope will be an ongoing series in poor editing jobs. Here's a simple pamphlet that I ripped off on the Red Line. Its public service mission is to dissuade you from majoring in English at our local Cambridge College.

I took the liberty of copyediting this card that promises learning at an "adavanced" level. If you're still convinced that Cambridge is the college for you, you might still have some difficulty. See, their key marketing point on this advertisement, the website, is wrong. There's a backslash missing after the "edu," so that "Page not found" will pop up.

Of course, they do offer a BA in Psychology. Maybe it's all a clever mindgame.
