Subject Modern Journalism Murders King's English

Many of the writers employed by the media are now showing their "superior educations" by butchering the English language.

Check out the following sentences from one of the online "buzz" channels.

"Most celebrities seem like it would be immensely hard work to be their housekeeper, but Reese is apparently the sweetest, it must be that southern charm."

Another example:

"The Desperate Housewives star has come under fire for the college admissions scandal, and her previous maid has spoken out, saying she was present when her and William Macy were choosing their daughters’ colleges."

In the second example, we all know the word "her" should be "she", but it is unclear to whom that second "she" would refer, the maid, or the Desperate Housewives star (Felicity Huffman)? I have already cleared up proper pronoun usage. How would you re-write the sentence to clear up the ambiguity?

See if you can re-write the first sentence so that it makes sense and is grammatically correct.
