Ano Nymous

An anonymous writer for ABC News wrote this:

"In dashboard video from Caban's car, Golden is seen sloshing back and forth in the back seat..."

People don't slosh.  Liquid does.

Dead Ringer

A writer named Rachel Wold wrote this for the website SportsNaut.  It's at the end of the article:

"It should definitely be interesting to see if McNair has any response to to Kluwe's quite opinionated letter that really drags the old owner through the ringer."

Here's the link.

Huh?

Former aide to governor Chris Christie, Bill Stepien, was reported to have said in an email:

"It's fine. The mayor is an idiot, though. When some, lose some."

I can't say that I've ever seen that usage before.  Interesting.

Post Office

I was at the post office the other day and spied a box on a counter.  I wish I could've snapped a picture of it, but it would have been too conspicuous to the box owner.

On the side of the box the sender had written:

Merry Christmas
Happy New Years

***FRAGILE***

***BRAKABLE***

***FRAGILE***

[sigh]

Don't Be a Butt

I couldn't snap a picture of it, but KENS5's crawler-typist is at it again today. From this morning:

"It's everything butt..."

Conjunction, noun, verb, adjective. Whatever. It sounds like the right word. ;-)

Oops

It looks more like Mr. Sheen is wielding a machete, not wearing one. And let's not forget that little hyphen they forgot to include in this boo-boo.

Winner Takes The Price

I can't tell you how many of these errors by KENS-5 I've not posted. Amazing!
