I think the major internet news sites should not have any mistakes in their articles. Especially not the headline for their top story on their homepage.

Keep dreaming. Newspapers have always been chock full of typos. It's nothing new and it's not going away.

Incidentally, I remember when my mom would actually write a letter every time she saw a newspaper article make the its/it's mistake.

Weekend daddy says the checks will soon be in the mail.

Plus, it was fixed within 5 minutes (I checked it out as soon as you posted the picture).

I see several typos a day in the San Francisco Chronicle and the hurdle to fixing a mistake is much higher in print.

Yeah, it was really kinda awkward the other day when a very out of breath editor knocked on my door with whiteout and a pen. I hated to have to tell him that we only get the Sunday paper.

That will not help them get a better grade. No amount of extra credit will help them now.

I'm not allowed to use "dinglecheese" anymore. It's my new favorite curse word. But Maddy's picked it up and used it in front of a guy a few weeks ago and was embarassed that he looked at her like she was, well, a dinglecheese. So I'm not supposed to say it - but I do anyway. It's so darn useful.
