Carlo Guevara's body makes you forget good grammar

Hmmm, oh yeah! Sometimes a body like that makes you forget your manners, and your grammar. Manilagayguy let loose his subject-verb agreement because of some tight underwear.

"Once again we feature Bench Boy Carlo Guevara, winner of Be Bench Model Search — the boy-next-door who magically transformed himself from an obese nobody to the sultry, sexy eye candy he is now — in just 1 year.

Are you one of those who’s been wishing for a healthy, lean bod and yet has been plagued with all sorts of excuses to get serious with your exercise and diet? Look at Carlo and be inspired. His previous photo here (before and after) might be of help."

1. Without the contraction, "Are you one of those who has been wishing.." is offensive enough, but the crime is repeated in the clause "and yet has been...."

Those is a demonstrative pronoun in plural form; the singular of those is that. The sentence should be: Are you one of those who have been wishing for a healthy, lean bod and yet have been..."

2. The use of two dashes in the opening sentence, while technically correct may confuse some readers. The dash—often typed as two hyphens side by side with no space between the dash and the words on either side of it—is used to connect groups of words to other groups. Generally, the dash does this in two ways: it separates words in the middle of a sentence from the rest of the sentence, or it leads to material at the end of a sentence.

So, if you remove the whole phrase in between the two dashes, the sentence will read:

"Once again we feature Bench Boy Carlo Guevara, winner of Be Bench Model Search in just 1 year. "

What?

3. I like his use of the phrase plagued with, as in "plagued with all sorts of excuses." Plague, as a verb means to trouble, annoy, or torment in any manner: The question of his future plagues him with doubt. Your own excuses torment you.

But then again, if one is writing an article with that naked picture in mind, grammar is the least of the considerations.
