Misery loves misspellings

Alright. Two days in a row of easily avoidable spelling mistakes.

Let's get this together editors.

A quick rundown of misspellings Friday and Monday:


  • Too was spelled two
  • Fayetteville, Ark. was spelled Fayateville, Ark.
  • half was spelled haf
  • discrimination was spelled descrimination
  • Center's was spelled centter's
  • samples was spelled smaples
This is unacceptable. Every person submitting or editing content needs to be spell checking. It isn't hard, and it doesn't take up much time. On these Apples computers, it's a quick Apple +I. These are easy mistakes that make the paper look unprofessional and uncredible.

We must avoid them. So please make sure you are spell checking EVERY piece of content you submit, edit and place in the paper.

MEETING DEADLINES


A lot of the desks are improving their response to deadlines. Reporters are turning in stories in a timely manner. This makes for an easy production night for the unsung heroes working the copy edit and night worker trenches. Even more amazing, the Campus editors went home at 7 p.m., which is one time! Great job to everyone that is making their deadlines.

Keep it up, the editors notice this and appreciate when everyone comes through.
