Dear MSNBC: Spelling matters.

According to MSNBC this morning, Wal-Mart will be shouting in a deep, throaty voice about their profits.

Spelling matters.

Oh wow, how stupid. Sometimes I think some of these networks have monkeys writing this stuff. That or whoever is doing it is still drunk from last night’s soiree.

Must be a trend. I saw on a sports station where they used the wrong form of “their/there/they’re.”

Makes me a bit embarrassed to say I work with the media!

It would be more serious if it happened to a news network. Fortunately, it only happened to MSNBC.

It’s a shame to see a national outlet be so careless. I’d expect this kind of mistake on local affiliates (happens way too often)…

an amusing typo. what’s not so amusing are the number of people who apparently have never made a mistake and therefore see no reason to tolerate one by another.

That’s hilarious! At least he wasn’t using text messaging, abbreviated language. Thanks for sharing Peter, we’ve got to laugh at ourselves sometimes, and then realize that most programs have spell check button.
