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.
Phillyist reader Christopher followed up on last week's Asshole of the Week by pointing out something very strange: while Commissioner Ramsey's name was spelled correctly in the Inqy article we linked to, that same article published a day later in the Daily News features a misspelling of the name in the headline and in the URL, even though it's spelled correctly in the body of the article. Almost a week has gone by, and nobody at philly.com seems to have noticed yet.
If we've asked it before, we'll still ask again: isn't this what copy editors are supposed to catch?
