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.

Politics, y'all.

Politics can really get under your skin. Election season is a tough time for everyone, and not just those running for office. Our phones and televisions are under attack, and forests are denuded in order to create enough paper to send out those very handy flyers that arrive every day in the mail that I don't even look at.

But you know things have gotten bad when even the Washington Post snaps under the pressure. Fortunately, they've had the decency to go back and fix their error, so you won't see it when you click through the link, unless you check the address bar, where they weren't able to make the correction. But here. I saved it for you. Here's what that headline originally said:

I never quite get a fully clean screengrab.
Ah, homophone. It'll get ya every time. Sad trombone. This is what politics hath wrought!

(Thanks, SK!)
