To reporter:

Not jury-rigged. Jerry-rigged.

God, we have total idiots writing stories today. Zero copy editors anymore.

At least they did not say it was African engineered.

I would do stuff and call it “Ni****-rigged”.

“So how come you call it that?”

“’Cuz it didn’t work!”

Jury-rigged is correct, according to two dictionaries.

Thank you. I couldn’t read any further.

Nope when autocorrect came out, proofreaders were unemployed. I used to call my local paper frequently and offer to do the job for them. They had a picture of a large bird on the front page during National Newspapers in Education week and the cut line included the word “vultiours” instead of vultures. I never called again, I knew it was hopeless.
