In your thread you mentioned the spelling errors in the article.

Not too long ago, the local Savannah paper ran a whole series on crime and crime prevention. One issue was devoted to auto theft. The headline shouted out,

Car theft down 200%.

I immediately ran out expecting to see the new car that the thieves had brought me during the night.

What does it say about the level of information being distributed by our press when such an absurd statement gets past the editors?

One of our local papers had a item from the police blotter about car windows being valdalized. It was some thing like; "The window was smashed but intact." It can't be both.
