Well that's what happens when you have an adult do a child's job...

 

Coming to NBC this Fall: Are you Smarter than a WashPost Editor?

 

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.

I'd really like to point that out.

 

I'd like to point that out so much that I'm fixing that link:

Which didn't transcribe into the little box.

I still claim credit.
