Dang!!! It's smokey!!!

Cloudy tonight!!!
Sunny tomorrow!!!
Rain on Thursday!!!

This is how one Orlando-area TV station displays the on-screen bulleted list they use to highlight the weather reporter's forecast.

This has been going on for years!!! Every bullet point of the forecast is written in huge bold italics, followed by three exclamation points—regardless of the normalcy or severity of the forecast!!!

What if a hurricane were threatening? I wonder how many exclamation points they would need to provide the proper emphasis?

And with all the wildfires here in Florida this week, the word "smoky" is frequently bandied about. But the TV station always spells it with an "e"—as in "Smokey Bear," not "smoky air."

So how many exclamation points will they use when the next hurricane approaches Orlando? And will they ever realize they're misspelling "smoky"?

Stay tuned to Orlando's own WKMG, Local 6 News!!!!!
