That's the lead sentence from a report about teacher salaries appearing on the front page of a never-to-be-identified area (but not Midland) newspaper. It's reproduced exactly as it appears in print (including that dangling comma at the end) and believe me, it wasn't easy for my fingers to duplicate some of those words.
You can also believe me when I say I proofed my part of this post very carefully!
I'm adding "numberous" to my vocabulary...as in, that report left me feeling numberous. Sad, really.

Posted by: Mark at March 31, 2006 09:04 PMOMG, please tell me this wasn't a daily. Had to be at least a weekly. Otherwise, pathetic, and clear evidence that this paper doesn't budget for copyediting. Even the lamest copy editor would catch three of the mistakes in that paragraph.
