#16: Chicken, Pig, Milk
There are actually several things I hate about this next picture. First, what is this even for? Just taking up space in the kitchen? Because it does not look food safe. Second, I hate that the text is horizontal on two of the plates and rotated 90° on the third, and they didn’t even put the unusual one in the middle. It just looks like a design mistake.

But most of all is the problem that earned this picture a spot in our list. In writing and editing, we talk about the importance of parallel structure. If you are making a list of animals—chicken, pig—then “milk” is absolutely wrong. It should be “cow,” or “pig” should be changed to “pork.”
