EDITOR@WORK

Found online: Both Starks and Soliai are big bodies whom clog the middle and force runs outside.

No, sorry. It's who. And you don't need both.

Starks and Soliai are big bodies who clog the middle and force runs outside.

Also found online: QB Ryan Tannehill has, according to numerous reports, looked calm, cool and collective during OTAs.

I hope the writer meant "... calm, cool and collected..." Also, I would start the sentence "According to numerous reports, QB Ryan Tannehill..."

SPELLING WOES: I was at a restaurant last night and noticed a handwritten sign behind the desk. It said "No Personnal Belongings." I guess the personnel in the restaurant had to keep their personal belongings in their cars.

TRUTH IN ADVERTISING: You often see products like hot sauce, saltines or cereal listed as "Original." I wonder if there is a product that should be listed as "Unoriginal."
