Oh no, there is another mis-spelling in this story that WRAL has updated....see if you can spot it!

WRAL, you need to worry about fixing the errors in your stories before you start pointing fingers. I find faults at least weekly.

Bad spelling? Oh noes!!!11!

Thas jest rong!!!!!!

THIS IS NEWS?????????? COME ON WRAL!!!

This (misspellings) is pretty much the norm. It aggravates me to see words spelled incorrectly. But, we live in the age of "text talk" where everything is misspelled to 'save time'.

Grammar is another subject especially when people type "loose" for "lose" and "noone" for "no one".

Dr DatacIerk, the "without" being spelled as two words grabbed my attention, as did the "newly-opened." An adverb ending with "-ly" does not require a hyphen to form an adverbial phrase.

In decades past, an error could not be corrected in thirty seconds by someone at a computer; type was set by hand, and once it was published, the error was there, and that was, as they say, that. Newer technologies are fine, but we still need to be able to recognize the correct word when the spelling checker gives us options.

Some people who fussed the loudest here about WRAL's proofreading made pretty horrid mistakes themselves; one in particular wouldn't know what to do with a possessive apostrophe if one fell out of the sky stapled to a $20 bill.

Home schooled? or maybe Hom skoold

Supposing the contractor looked at the misspelled signs and said,

"Oh Gee!"

God bless.
