AP Style#4

1. He hopes to make a billion dollars by the time he is 40 years old. He already figured out his net worth is between $2 million and $3 million, depending on current stock prices. 
2. Lt. Colonel John Carpenter was a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy and also served in the 7th Fleet.
3. Twenty-one winners were named two days after the 3rd Annual Procrastination Awards ceremony.
4. It was a one-sided game and he was a sore loser. After losing the playoff when his ball went out of bounds, he made an off-color remark that could be heard in the stands.
5. Hundreds of people attended the Sunday's race to watched 74 top bicyclists peddle across the finish line.
6. Every winter, the Jones and the Kinneys pore over travel brochures, planning their summer trip together. This year, they are hoping to go to Panama City.

  1. 2) You caught the "midshipman" part, but there's no "Lt. Col." rank in the Navy. Review the "military titles" entry in the AP Stylebook.
    3) third
    5) take another look at "peddle"
    6) Joneses, which Panama City?
