Edit the World #2

1. From the Guardian online, http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/oct/18/gordon-strachan-middlesbrough
"On Saturday lost 2-1 at home to Leeds United, with the Riverside Stadium – where crowds have dwindled alarmingly – echoing to chants of "We want Gordon Strachan out"."
 
Word missing between "on" and "Saturday."


2. From Metro San Jose online, http://www.metroactive.com/movies/enter-the-void.html
"The toy set is startling to those who know NoƩ's works of hardened misanthropy like I Stand Alone or the backward-day rape/revenge opus Irreversible."

"Irreversible," a movie title, should be italicized.

3. From same article as no. 2
"Oscar sees a kind of heaven like glowing Chihuly blown-glass tendrils issuing from the light fixtures." 

"heaven like," should be hyphenated as it modifies "glowing."

4. From Metro San Jose online, http://www.metroactive.com/movies/social-network.html
"This is one mere touch of the taste and intelligence of Fincher regular cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth..."

Should be "Fincher's regular cinematographer."

5. From Metro San Jose online, http://www.sanjose.com/uk-subs-and-total-chaos-e1027571
"Most American kids never even got to hear these second-tier punkers until compilations like Punk and Disorderly made it over here."

As it is an album title, "Punk and Disorderly," should be italicized.
