Some interesting gaffes made it by the Chron editors today.
A reader passed along this line from a Chron story early this morning:
“It’s been seven years, so I can deal with a few more hours,” said Amezaquita as he and his relatives wepted and hugged in the early morning fog outside the Harris County Inmate Processing Center on Commerce in downtown Houston.
We wepted a little bit too when we saw that in print.
Then there’s this headline:
We were expecting one of those periodic stories in which MSM features reporters talk about blogs. Alas, it is a story about a new book of places readers “gotta” see.
It’s Christmas holiday time, so maybe the editors have been hitting the hard egg nog.
UPDATE: “Wepted” has been corrected. No need for thanks, guys. We’re happy to help with your routine copy editing! 🙂
