Proofreading Philly

Proofreading Philly tries to capture typos, wordos, and all other kinds of grammatical mistakes that we see around the city. But we need your help! Email photos to us from your computer or your phone, and show the city that you care about good grammar.

Star Wars wasn't made in the 60sOnce in a while, Proofreading Philly turns into Fact-checking (Phact-checking?) Philly, and this is one of those times. We just wouldn't be responsible bloggers if we didn't correct CBS 3's error on a favorite blogosphere topic, Star Wars. While the article has been corrected (without acknowledging the original error—how unprofessional!), we just had to post this screengrab, courtesy of Eric and Editor Jim, of the article on the day it published. Because when you can't be bothered to look at IMDB or Wikipedia to confirm a date, you deserve to be called out for it.

(Who else thinks that the error was caught by a reader, not the reporter or her editor?)
