Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! correction the next day.

AP used to (maybe still do) publish a list of these every year.

Oh boy and these guys make a living using words? Don't they ever reread what they have written.

Usually, they recheck their headline or written statement after it appears on Jay Leno's comedy routine. Then they feel really embarrassed that they missed the error before publishing. In this era of automated "SPELLCHECK" and "GRAMMAR CHECK" software, the programs don't know when there are mistakes that make headlines sound obsurd.

Apparently proof reading is somewhat limited to liquor labels.

And most of the people that read the proof of their liquors, don't know how to convert that number to % alchohol either. Or maybe they just don't care. For some, MORE IS BETTER, but wait till they try one with over 190 PROOF. It will take your breath away for sure.
