Across the Ist-a-Verse
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 James found these two outstandingly un-proofread headlines on philly.com over the weekend. The first, a spelling error, proves that Hooked on Phonics worked too well for somebody. The second has two words inverted—unless now-former Mets coach Willie Randolph has some sort of legal brief that needs a vacation. Neither error has been corrected—which begs the question: what does philly.com pay its editors to do, anyway?

While we're on the topic of grammatical mistakes, you may want to rethink your misuse of the phrase "begs the questions." ;)
Unless Jim deleted that second "s" before I saw your comment, I don't think it said "begs the questions." It might have, though; I don't know.
