Title: file photo
Description: ‘television producerMark Burnett answers questions at a new conference in Pasadena, Calif.’
if that is it, I wouldn’t say it is an English Fail, just good web etiquette as the publisher have provided a description for the picture for those that don’t/can’t view images (e.g. mobile phones etc).
Then again when did July have 67 days? And he must have been using a time machine as it is only 10th July here in Scotland.
Well, they also missed a comma in the first sentence didn’t they? I remember my junior high English teacher’s rule about “date, rest of sentence” or is that another one that’s been given up for the sake of easier typing like the last comma before the “and” in a list… as in a, b, c, and d versus a, b, c and d.
Anyway, there’s at least one good fail, if not two.
I get wound up anyway about people writing dates without the “th” – for example, you don’t say “January eleven”, you say “January eleven-th”! I know it’s accepted in America, and probably isn’t classed as a fail, but it always piques me a little anyway.
67
Looks like they forgot to attach the picture -

wow, geo. you take this really seriously.
you guys dont refer to September 5th, 2008 as July 67th, 2008 over in scotland?
I got a brochure that said something was on July 200th, 2008
@ Luxor
It’s my birthday. My birthday is on July 200th. You better be there, man.
HA! I think we should base the whole year on July. June 30th would become July 364th, unless it was a leap year.

I believe it’s been given up, though I still hold on to that Oxford comma.
Looks like the typist had some fat fingers.
LOL, that’s hilarious!

Does anyone else notice that it says “In a Jan. 11, 2007″?
@Shadowmark. Yes, they’re just referring to one of many January 11ths that occurred in 2007.
it’s “In a January 11th 2007 file photo” where both the date and file are adjectives modifying the noun photo.
