#Grammar cop reporting today on women in agriculture: "Only 33% of women in the United States make up the agricultural labor force."

So, a third of US women make up the agricultural labor force. There are no men. And by "only," does the author mean that even more women (50%?) should go into agriculture?

Nah. It's just #BadGrammar

(Apologies. I needed to get this out of my system.)

Hey #SaturdayNightLive, why did you have a needless possessive noun there? "We have the dodo's"? You mean "We have the dodos." #badgrammar #removeapostrophe #proofread #wtf

Are the folks saying “Mastadon” instead of #Mastodon belonging to the same genus, that the ones calling the propeller a “propellor”, protesters “protestors” and brakes -> “breaks”?
