Typos of the New York Times

Discovered the wonderful @nyttypos this morning. A fantastic Twitter account I discovered this morning. The account’s bio:

I am an appellate lawyer and persnickety dude. As a hobby, I correct typos in the Times, which no longer employs copy editors and consequently has tons of typos

Some of my favourite corrections so far are just next-level pedantry. Definitely the content I signed up for:

Delete: "have" is an idiotic verb-noun-agreement error for "has" in "The rise in the number of cases in the Midwest have prompted alarm and fear." "Cases," the prepositional object of "of," is not the subject of "have"; "rise" is. pic.twitter.com/TTOnxofDzc

And drawing attention to the $3,500 vest in this photo, which is “on ground”, is just fantastic work:

For example, here we have a guy in a Walt Whitman-inspired outfit of an unbuttoned $3500 Bottega Veneta cardigan, no shirt, "vest (on ground)," and an interesting/vaguely scary pair of orange-fingered gray gloves. pic.twitter.com/cf9TtxPfGE
