I Wuk Fo Fox Nooz


This afternoon, while doing my daily news checking during my lunch break, I caught a story about actress Jenna Fischer, who says that wearing skimpy attire on a movie set is better than doing it at home.

What caught my eye was that the word “then” was used in place of the word “than” not once but twice. Oh, and the article itself is entitled “The Office Star Jenna Fischer Tells the Naked Turth.” Turth?

I knew that the reporting at Fox was half-assed, but there’s not much to say when you have reporters who can’t even write above a third-grade level.

Reference
McKay, Hollie. “The Office Star Jenna Fischer Tells the Naked Turth.” Fox News. 2 Jan. 2009.

Wow, I can't believe that a legit news source wouldn't spellcheck. Wait a minute...

You know, it’s currently 2:42 EST on January 6, and the spelling errors are still there.
