everybody is given a gray T shirt that reads MAKE WHAT PEOPLE WANT
What they really say is Make something people want. It's interesting that, whenever I have inside knowledge about an article's subject, I always seem to catch little mistakes like this. And it makes me wonder, how many other details do they get wrong?
It's a tired but true cliché: don't believe everything you read. (That being said, this article is basically right---as far as I can tell.)
- technoguyrob 19y agoIndeed. I've been in the newspaper a few times, and every time there was some glaringly wrong detail.
- kcl 19y agoI've not been in the paper myself, but many of my friends have, and the first thing they always point out is how badly the paper misquoted them. I always expected the things I read in quotation marks to be quotations, and it was surprising to find out that's rarely the case. A journalist's idea of quotation is actually to take the gist of what you said, put it in new words, and then put it back in your mouth.
