I thought only usenet posters didn't know the difference between lose and
loose.

I guess The Associated Press doesn't either.


Newspaper editors have long since stopped doing any actual editing. You
really would be surprised at the crap that gets by them. "I swear, I am
not making this up", but in a local paper recently, a subheadline that was
obviously supposed to just be a temporary placeholder actually got through.
Then again, I suppose they COULD have intended the subheadline to be
"Subheadline goes here, once you know what this is about, this most boring
of news stories". Unprofessional though.


**** happens, then you change the procedure. In the Home Depot ad
department, we would put $00.00 as place holders in the ads before the last
minute prices were determined. Care to guess what happened and how much ****
hit the fan?
