    I'm having a hard time tracking the original source on this. David Schmader, at Slog, attributes the WOW Report, but unfortunately links back to the home page instead of the specific post. Enough with the preface. Just ... enjoy.

    And in Shreveport, Louisiana, of all places.

    Personally, I completely convinced that proofreading is a dying profession. With so many news outlets today (though the printed forms are diminishing fairly rapidly), there is emphasis on urgency of publication and much less on accuracy and MUCH less on proofreading.

    I see so many typos and the use of similarly spelled words with completely different meanings (example, silicon and silicone) that I've come to expect them in just about everything I read.

    On an unrelated note, "Cunt Dracula" is an amusing concept.
    Instead of being a suave smooth classy gentleman (like Bela Lugosi or Lestat or something), he would be a complete asshole. He would be similar to one of those frat-boy douchebags you see in "girls gone wild" commercials.
