What's wrong with the capitalization and punctuation here?
Finally, a place to report errors!
Some examples:
Capitalization: It's an error to assume the length of the word conveys importance.
Many important words (including many verbs) are small.
The words in red should have been capitalized in these sentences.
• Top 10 Chronic Conditions in Adults 65+ and What You Can do to Prevent or Manage Them
• How I Found Out I had Pancreatic Cancer (Good video, but "had," a verb, should be capitalized.)
• "Do" and "can" and "be" are as important as "Prevent" or "Manage" and more important than "in" or "to".
• California's Collusion with a Texas Timber Company Let Ancient Redwoods be Clearcut
Errant commas:
Unlike traditional, antibiotics, which wipe out good and bad bacteria indiscriminately, precision treatments would target the specific bug responsible for the urinary tract infection, while leaving the rest intact. (from “So You Might Actually Not Be Allergic to Penicillin” by Jeanette Beebe for The Daily Beast)
Mind you, the editors should have caught this error. There should be no comma before "antibiotics."
Misunderstanding of commas. (When the title, name, or word is essential, use no comma. Use commas to surround words that are parenthetical. The phrases within capitals, marked red, are NOT parenthetical. Remove them and the sentence doesn't make sense.)
