Me speell purdy one day
@Wiz - NBC? Please. We all know that show is already being secretly planned at Fox
that's awesome. sounds like spell check needs an extra-vigilant, prepubescent setting for the time of the year when stories about the national spelling be comes around.
as does dcist! clearly not my fault. :) whoops - that would be "bee."
As an aside, is referring to someone as Kim when their name is actually Yim actually a misspelling? Isn't it more like racism?
I'd like to point out that the error was noted by one of the Post's readers in the comments section.
