Copy/Edit the World 10/10


This is from a brochure from the Golden Gate Park Conservatory of Flowers in San Francisco:
1) There should be a hyphen between "ever" and "abundant."
2) The comma after "orchid" should be removed.
3) The comma after "Indonesia" should be removed.
4) In the second paragraph the comma after cacao should be removed and the comma after coffee should become a period. The "and" at the beginning of the next sentence should read "There are" to punctuate the run-on sentence.
5) The comma after "tropics" should be removed.
6) The hyphen between "epiphytes" and "plants" should be removed and replaced by a colon. Alternatively, it can be replaced by "which are".

  1. Good editing! +16 points
    P.S. I only count it once when it's the same error, like that unnecessary comma.
