We all make errors, and sometimes, those errors can make us look like idiots. Especially when that error gets published out in the world, even though it likely went through a host of gatekeepers to get there. And that's why we're here. To shame those gatekeepers with an internet scarlet S. I don't expect you to be perfect. It takes a village, and every village has an idiot. But for the sake of your company's reputation, hire a village that has at least one member THAT CAN SPELL.

More tragedy

Continuing on with the theme, here's yet another error in the reporting of the loss of Neil Armstrong, sent in by my friend MF. Here, just have a look:

Do you see it? Here's a hint: it's not a spelling error. It's a math error. 2012-1930 = 82, and not 87, as this article would have you believe. Listen, I am TERRIBLE at math, but all is made easy by the birth year being 1930. That's math even I can do. And so should you, Hulu writer. Go ahead. Get out a calculator. WE'LL WAIT.

(Thanks, MF!)
