I think I'll ride over to Pearl Harbor and do some "naval gazing" myself this afternoon.

While I'm out, I might shop for one of those "cardinal tents" to use when I go camping this weekend.

Spell checking on the computer is no substitute for proofreading.

How does "cardianal tents" and "naval gazing" get past a copy editor?

It really does show how low is the educational level in our country---even of people writing professionally for a newspaper. This is really dismaying. It is not even funny. It really discredits the intelligence of the writer as well as the editing function at the paper.
