Copy Edit the World - Last 15 points

1. (above) There is actually three problems in this photo, they were both taken from a newsletter sent by the church my parents go to. The first is that "the" isn't needed in the sentence. The exact sentence was "This is the day when the whole Church remembers all the deceased throughout the world, in our parish and in our families." After the words "remember all", there is no need for the word "the". Another Problem was that the word Church should not be capitalized, because it isn't the exact name of the building, which is Holy Cross Church.

The third problem in the picture is that the next sentence starts off with "Masses as follows: ...", but it would sound clearer as "Mass is as follows: ...".


2. (above) The fourth mistake was in the same newsletter sent out by the Holy Cross Parish, a church my parents attend. The mistake is that P.M. should be lowercase, and it should look like 6 p.m.
All the mistakes are from a newsletter, so each should be four points each. (16 points)
