Avoid these English-language mistakes - and get ahead

In these days of texting, Twitter and "1daful" brevity, would being grammatically correct and using English elegantly matter when you speak, e-mail or apply for a job? The other day, Reader's Digest got an application from a journalism student. It read: "I MeghaMathur* is pursuing Bachelor of Journalism… My institute has advised me to approach a well established magazine and work their as an intern…"
We felt sorry. I is? No commas or hyphen where needed. Work their as …? And who is this Bachelor she's pursuing? Not surprisingly, Megha's application didn't make it. So watch out for these common slips.**
Logic & Usage
You don't mean: bachelorsdegree You always mean: bachelor's degree Why: Even people with degrees get this wrong. It's not a plural. It's a degree that is possessed by an individual who earned it. The apostrophe indicates possession (Tommy's supper; Jack's pail). And there's just one person owning it, so don't write bachelors'. Don't write Bachelor's of Arts degree either. It's a Bachelor of Arts [Science, Engineering, etc] degree. As for our wannabe intern, she would have done better had she written: "I, MeghaMathur, am doing a Bachelor of Journalism degree…"

You say: way back in 2013
You mean: (back) in 2013 Why: Way back means a long way back in time. Yet even some newspaper reports say things like "way back in 2013..." That would fit if we were insects that lived for just for a few weeks. There's no defined minimum number of years required for choosing this term, but "way back in the 1950s" or "way back when I was a boy" would sound quite right.
You don't mean: late Mr Patel
You mean: the late Mr Patel
Why: If you said "late Mr Patel" you could be implying that the dead man was unavoidably delayed and might walk in at any minute. This is probably the most common error found in our wedding cards.
