The Misspelling Continues. ..

So, have you applied for a job at the Journal?

And keep in mind, with the "wave of the future" Internet where anything goes, proper grammar, punctuation & standards have been thrown out the window. Just read some of the comments on this site.

Thank you for your kind replies. Anton1965 said it best, the eloquence is breathtaking. I meant to say that almost anybody could do better, and I see by the replies that you can as well.

Norpole,

Do you have any idea exactly what it takes to put out a paper in International Falls? The Daily Journal works with a skeleton crew to put out 10 - 15 pages of paper that is worth reading. Personally I feel that we have something very special up here where we can still have a daily paper. The day of the daily is going fast and we still have The Daily Journal and that says a lot about the people of International Falls. If there are a few errors here and there, so be it. It takes a lot of hard work from the 6 or so reporters who take time out and are at county meetings, sporting events, and other happenings around the area till all hours of the night so you can read about in the morning. I applaud their efforts and I say keep up the good work.

KEEP IT UP NORPOLE!!! If I were the editor of the Journal, I would be absolutely embarrassed to put my name on it some days. Yes, we all occasionally misspell or mess up the grammar. But the "pros" should know better. And to accept such sloppiness is assinine. Perhaps our elementary teachers should have their classes proofread a few articles and send them in.

Reporters: Please remember the past tense of "lead" is "led," not "lead" as you so often use it. "Lead" when pronounced "led" is a heavy metal.

Hi folks! I am glad that you took time from making fun of me to point out so well how noble it is to have a joke of a newspaper. Other than livehere2, who understood the meaning of my blog, apparently you accept mediocrity and sloppiness as good enough from the voice of the town and county. Why? Were you allowed to be so cavalier in your spelling in school? If so, then you were short-changed and I am sorry for you. Yes, it is an arduous challenge to put out a daily newspaper, but that does not excuse misspelled words, poor sentence structure and a lack of imagination in relaying the news, sports, and weather of our home town. Like a friend of mine says about some people these days, rocks plus jar equals YOU! You know who you are.

Enough already! I agree with the misspelling in the paper. My kids even notice them. I think....you know what? It doesn't really matter what I think. Let people state their opinion and leave it at that. OK?

I have an Idea for all of you. Instead of pointing out the fact that there are small errors in the newspaper. You should focus on the real problems in the town. Like the meth usage of our youth or underage drinking. I swear you people would complain if you were hung with new ropes.
