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.

Poorly trained

I don't really have a lot to say about this submission, except that I expect better of the LA Times. Here's the story as it appears right now, with the error corrected.

And here is the error, as it appeared in the print version, in the right-column story at the top of the front page:
I am pro-train, but only because I'd like to see more of California. 
Seriously? Corrider? That's a shame. I also feel like the National Railway of France deserves to have Railway capitalized, but maybe not. That one, I'm not sure of. But one thing I do know? It's CORRIDOR.

(Thanks again to SH!)
