24 hours Vancouverrors - April 2012

 Here are the errors I detected on the pages of 24 hours Vancouver during April 2012. First up, the question mark at the end of the first paragraph in "Don't believe the hype in pursuit of love" on April 13, 2012, should be outside the closing quotation mark. Then,

22th should have been 22nd in a Tom Lee Music advertisement on April 20, 2012. Then,

I'm thinking the writer (of "How to handle awkward work situations" on April 23, 2012) couldn't choose between "I'm allergic to perfume" and "I've got allergies to perfume" so went with a mashup. Then,

it's an its/it's error in a TransLink advertisement on April 23, 2012. It was a front page ad that continued on the inside front cover, and what you see above was the main text on the inside front cover. Click an image to enlarge it.

Iron Workers Memorial Bridge; Ironworker's Memorial Bridge

"TransLink is Metro Vancouver’s regional transportation authority ... responsible for regional transit, cycling and commuting options." (Source) One commuting option is the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, not Iron Workers Memorial Bridge as seen in a list on TransLink's Bridges and Tunnels page. (But at least Lions Gate Bridge is correct!)

The same page's main text has the bridge's spelling correct, but its larger heading is incorrect.

Just below the page's main text is the section Lower Mainland Traffic Cameras. Here we see that Iron Workers Memorial Bridge still lingers, and now apostrophes have been inserted in four incorrect instances.
