WTH is happening in LA?

Not a headline!

 

You're gonna fire someone for that?

 

You might fire a guy for this when the sports section was the World Champion, and three or four editors read every story before it appeared in print. There was no web. Now you have maybe one editor reading a story, and the few remaining editors also are reading blog posts, web stories and print stories, checking for trending stories that need to be rewritten, and rushing to get the paper out as deadlines creep ever earlier. So I couldn't justify firing a guy for this, unless it kept happening.

 

The thing is, too, it's a real misspelling, not a typo. Who would've done that, there?

I myself glanced at the tweet before looking at the screenshot photo, and was wondering to myself how Los Angeles would've been misspelled. I thought, "Oh, it must've been a typo -- like, someone maybe left an "r" in there after not hitting the "e," or something like that. Lemme look and see."

But a "u"? That's someone actually not knowing how to spell it.

I don't know if I'd fire somebody, but that is bad.

 

Intentional? That almost seems more plausible than anything else.

 

Well, I don't think anyone saw this coming:

 

Not even.
