I was a columnist for a small-town newspaper for a couple of years, and I can't begin to count the number of times the "editor" inserted spelling and grammar mistakes into my column. My favorite experience, though, was opening a copy of the paper and seeing this headline:
AFTER FATAL BEATING, SUSPECT COMMITS SUICIDE
Yep, after a fatal beating some guys just lose the will to live...
Darn, that might be real hard on the elderly with bad tickers.
