Look for the resume of the girl who writes all of their bottom-screen scrawls. You’ll know it by the incoherence, poor grammar and frequent misspellings.

Back when I had TV, the misspellings found on the local news were a regular topic of conversation among family and friends. Everything was mangled, from common words to names of towns. My favorite was: "liberry".

The chyron max that I ran in the mid 90s didn’t have a spell checker or it was so unstable and slow, I forget. The was always the good old hardback dictionary on the console.

My favorite was: "liberry".

Many years ago, my then girl friend asked me what those beautiful bushes were growing around the town library, I told her the were liberry bushes.

Oh yes, I was quite the wit back in the day.

I've lost so much of it since then that now I'm only a half wit, though sometimes I rise to the level of nitwit.
