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.

We are SOOO classy.

This rather erudite entry comes to us from one of my intelligent and fancy professor friends, MSM. (I have a few professor friends. It turns out it does not rub off on you. One of my friends is an economics professor. I still can't do any math at all. Which makes her very handy to have around when you go out to eat and have to split the bill.) This article on the Archaeology News Network's website discusses the possibility that new pyramid complexes have been located using, of all things, Google Earth. I mean, shut the hell up, right? That there is fancy. These are some VERY smart people we're dealing with. Which, of course, means that they really should have known better.

I didn't even know satellite archaeology was a thing, but it makes sense. 
Do you see it? Second line from the bottom. "Angela is a UNC Charlotte alumnus..." except she's not. She's an ALUMNA, unless she has something she'd like to announce right here in this article.

Although, on another perusal, I notice that the article is VERY CAREFUL to not use any pronouns at all to refer to Angela. Maybe they don't know, either, and don't want to make any assumptions? Maybe Angela is a dude. I guess we just really don't know.

Ok, after a quick google, there is a female Angela Micol on FB who has pictures of pyramids and subscribes to some archaeology stuff. So, um, yeah. This just got creepy. Alumna, y'all. *slinks away*

(Thanks, MSM!)
