The article below was in my local paper today.



Wow, that doesn't speak well for your local paper. This drivel is email SPAM 'humor' that's been forwarded around the planet several thousand times in the past 20 years.


Good gods - the internet has been a household utility for twenty years already. 8O


ROFLMAO--don't even get me started on how bad my local paper is, or how behind the times the people are in this area! Non-stories like this are a regular occurrence. Also, the reporters don't know the difference between your and you're, or when to use it's and its. They just made another grammatical error the other day; it was something along the lines of, "The woman's name, which has not yet been released, drove her car into a building." I didn't know names could drive. :lol:

I am willing to forgive people their spelling and grammatical errors, but these people are supposed to be professionals at that sort of thing.
