Orlando's local news broadcasts are always a hoot—although their producers don't intend them to be. The humor comes from the constant stream of spelling errors that appear on-screen. Everything seems to be up for grabs in the "how-bad-can-we-mangle-it" contest: Titles, personal names, city names, and pretty much everything else that can be written is spelled incorrectly almost every day when the news stations display text on-screen.
Don't the captioning machines have some sort of spell-checker? Can't the TV stations hire someone who has a clue about spelling to operate the captioning machine?
Does anyone except me even care?
