The news is always in a race to shout, “You heard it here first!” Maybe they should slow down long enough to proofread what we actually hear.
Language matters. Even more than beating the clock.

Gosse droopings might cause beach closures? 🤔 KREM2 once again in a rush to say "You heard it here first," and forgot how to spell "geese, "goose," and "droppings"! Seriously? How hard is it to proofread?

Work harder and smarter!
I’ve always preferred “and” over “or." Why not have the best of both worlds? 💪

When you're trying to have a miraculous morning but the chyron writer skipped their own coffee…
It’s “Miracle Coffee Day,” folks. Unless “Miricale” is a new Dutch Bros flavor.
This is not how you win an Emmy.
Maybe they should hire me to type this stuff in.

Honestly, hire me, I know where the apostrophe goes.

An en dash (–) or a hyphen can be used to indicate a range of years, as well as other numbers, providing the meaning "(up) to and including."
En dash = to, through, or between.
Thus, 45-47 includes 46.

Seems The Wizard of Oz is a story about a girl who commits murder, then forms a kill squad with three strangers. Somewhere over the rainbow... is a felony case. ☠️

Truth and precision in reporting is more crucial than ever. A poorly written headline can mislead, spread misinformation, or just make a serious issue look ridiculous.
