I am not picking on a simple poster. And I make plenty of mistakes myself. But when the opening sentence of a news organization article starts with a glaring error in the first sentence, that stops a reader in their tracks then we have a problem. Not only did the author make a glaring mistake, but it got by their editors as well. Now if you had made that mistake then I would have just moved on without comment. I am no English major, and I make a ton of mistakes. But I think that I learned this lesson prior to being school age.
Me neither, brother. Peace! :)

You are compounding your first mistake.
