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.

Check out that last sentence. This paper is apparently averse to the phrase "pistol whip," for one, and doesn't proofread their articles with human eyes, for two. Because feeling is, of course, a word, but not the one that was needed here.

Do people not know what pistol whip means? I mean, I watch a lot of Law & Order, so maybe regular people (who have different viewing habits) don't. Do you?

(Thanks, MR!)
