Proofreading Philly

Even though Joey Sweeney's dissed us once or twice, we've remained relatively mum on Philebrity, and plan to remain so. Except for the fact that we run a weekly feature here called "Proofreading Philly," and, well, we can't ignore poorly-edited content, now can we?

Philebrity Needs to Proofread

Exhibit A: You'll note that the headline of this article has a misspelled name in it. Namely, the name of Neil Patrick Harris's career-launching character. We'd maybe let it slide, but for one thing: the correct spelling is right there in the embedded image.

Hey guys... we hear you've got a great budget. Maybe you should reallocate some funds to your fact-checking department.

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.
