Today's journalistic blunder has been committed by CBS Marketwatch, a financial site.
The headline reads: "Progress reported in hollywood writers talks - report."
Last time I checked, conventional grammar rules indicated that proper names (that includes names of cities) should be capitalized.
Last time I checked Hollywood was a "city" although one could argue as to whether or not Los Angeles would truly qualify as a real "city" by modern standards.
You can check out the CBS Marketwatch site and the blunder for yourself:http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/progress-reported-hollywood-writers-talks/story.aspx?guid=%7B4D25A6B1-3B52-4D2D-92EA-2BA68F7162D5%7D
Until the melodrama pertaining to the current writers strike is sorted out however, there is absolutely no shortage of witty material out there...
