Space Shuttle Columbia is in a decent for the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and will pass over the San Francisco Area around 6:00 AM Pacific Time.

So who spelled "descent" as "decent"? It doesn't sound as though a writer for the WSJ would do so, but sounds all too like a typical poster here. Too bad FR has to show its illiterate side to the world at the same time as getting accolades for being quick.

There's "one" at every party, and I guess you're "it."

Knock it off.

The WSJ writer was directly quoting the thread itself. He probably should have put in a [sic] after the misspelling.

While I agree that it's unfortunate there was the typo, I don't think it significantly detracts from the thread.

Did anyone hear Fox TV report that an AP reporter added a smear in a profile of the crew?

I always say the liberals are the spelling party and that is all they are. Nothing more. Who else goes to school for 20 years and lives in moms cellar but Liberals? LOL

Anyway AP stands for the liberals! Like what they tried to do yesterday to the one of the Space Shuttle Crew members. Again we slammed em but Good over it. They tried to link their source to a link at NASA that wasn't even there! Fox slammed em and so did FR. The #1 News Forum, in the World I say......

It took so long for you to catch the unforgivable error, I thought you may have missed it.

I don't know who spelled a word wrong, but I typed "Folks, I'm fear the worst has happened."

My fingers were shaking and my pulse was at about 300.
