Warning: small mediums at large

Our local newspaper ran a feature article yesterday about an art teacher at the YWCA. The very first thing that caught my eye was the purported location of the YWCA. When did they move the building to Church Street? The last time I was there, it was on South Main Street.

The reporter tells us, "For the three weeks she has been there, Francis has introduced students to a variety of artistic mediums along with some art history thrown in." Miss Reporter, the plural you need is "media." "Mediums" are either people who communicate with the dead or soft drink sizes between larges and smalls. That is, of course, unless she really is introducing them to artistic mediums.

Then there was that informative headline on the front page -- "Hobby Lobby to open by late." Late what? I know! We can ask one of those mediums. All the artistic ones shop at Hobby Lobby.
And with that, I'll paraphrase the closing line of one of this award-winning newspaper's Sunday editorials: "That all, folks."
