Withdrawl Symptoms
Years ago the Plattsburgh Paper shitcanned its proofreader. And since then local readers have been treated to some wonderful blunders. Hey, I make mistakes, but at least I run a spellcheck program. But some wordsmiths at the Paper don’t even bother to do that.
Try this headline on the front page of the 11/20/06 edition:
