Typos of the New York Times
@nyttyposI am an appellate lawyer and persnickety dude. As a hobby, I correct typos in the Times, which no longer employs copy editors and consequently has tons of typos

I don't want to get anyone fired during a pandemic, but when one lawyer chilling in his apartment can make the biggest paper in the world delete 5 tweets a day because of dumb typos and grammatical errors, shouldn't that paper hire a less crappy social media team?
Whom is an error for who; it’s the subject of would be, not the object of said. @lukebroadwater
Not sure these weird punctuation errors (the missing period after v in Roe v Wade, the comma before Jr., which violates your style rules) were in the original statement, but it doesn’t matter because The Times modifies punctuation in quotes to follow its style. @jonathanvswan
The first word of the article is a style guide violation: The Times does not modify uppercase titles with place-name adjectives. You have to cut “German” and write “of Germany” after Scholz’s name. @jimtankersley @CFSchuetze @AKurmanaev
“he shouldn’t have to that” is missing “do.” Missing comma before an attribution tag. Him losing and Zverev losing are ungrammatically fused participles that should read his losing and Zverev’s losing. @MattFutterman @jameskhansen
When a sentence ends with an abbreviation, you don’t put another period after the abbreviation. Have is a subject-verb-agreement error for has; each entity is singular. You need close quotes here, because the first paragraph’s part of the quote is a fragment. @MattFutterman
Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller November 15,1948
Has help unlock is a bad error for has helped unlock. No commas after exclamation points. @davidaldridgedc @MikePradaNBA
As previously noted, are is a subject-verb-agreement error for is, because more than one in three is a singular, notwithstanding more than. @AgrawalNina, cc @juliacalderone @erikvance
Nancy By Ernie Bushmiller November 15,1947
Missing single quotation mark at the beginning of an internal quote. Bonus straight quotation mark that should be curly. @AnaSwanson @maddiengo
The ethics panel making public its findings is an ungrammatically fused participle that should read the ethics panel’s making public its findings, @lukebroadwater
A fully parenthetical sentence’s period goes inside the parentheses, not outside. The sentence on the upper right is missing said. You shouldn’t have the before human rights. Bonus extra space. @VALERIEinNYT
Under your style guide you have to lowercase Congressman and Senator because The Times doesn’t modify uppercase titles with places or parties. Two bonus straight quotation marks that should be curly. @trishbendix
Ungrammatically omitted comma after an appositive modifier, @lynseychutel
