The asshats at the news station misspelled "Aspergers." I think if they actually cared about the story, they'd look it up in the dictionary.

Woah, yeah, that wasn't just one typo. They consistently called it "Asperger Syndrome". And those news anchors look creepy! I'm glad I don't watch TV news anymore.

Come now. Would you have preferred they'd not advertise or aired his story?

Besides, the misspelling came about due to the pronunciation of the word as "AS-BUR-GER." Do you expect the person typing the crap in the back-room to refer to his dictionary? I don't, then again I don't care.

Forgive me if I seem like a Grammar Nazi, but that kind of misspelling on public television only brings the world population one step closer to universal idiocy.
