Writing a grammar column, just typed "swinging for the feces" instead of "swinging for the fences" and I'm almost disappointed I caught it.

Fast news, rushed graphics, and suddenly the name and the verb both miss the mark. (Berkly/scores)
Speed is great, but accuracy is the part we’re expecting and trusting.

The race to be first is winning out over the race to be right. It is hard to maintain authority when the breaking news banner looks like a rough draft. Speed matters, but credibility is built on details, and right now, the details are looking a little messy.

GENESS school? It’s Genesis. Names matter, especially for schools and public notices. Accuracy isn’t nitpicking, it’s respect for the people affected and the information being shared.

Spellcheck said, “Looks good!”
…aaaand here we are.
If your company’s words show up on screens, signs, socials, or anywhere humans can roast you, hire someone who actually reads the thing.
Your reputation deserves more than autocorrect’s best guess.

Is it 'Sp-oak-nee' or 'Spoak-n' now? Asking for everyone in the Spoakne area.
Or did the intern fall asleep on the keyboard again?

The news is always in a race to shout, “You heard it here first!” Maybe they should slow down long enough to proofread what we actually hear.
Language matters. Even more than beating the clock.

Gosse droopings might cause beach closures? 🤔 KREM2 once again in a rush to say "You heard it here first," and forgot how to spell "geese, "goose," and "droppings"! Seriously? How hard is it to proofread?

We’ve mastered slang like “bae” and “fleek,” but still trip over your vs. you’re? Grammar isn’t trendy, but it is necessary. #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou

When you're trying to have a miraculous morning but the chyron writer skipped their own coffee…
It’s “Miracle Coffee Day,” folks. Unless “Miricale” is a new Dutch Bros flavor.
This is not how you win an Emmy.
Maybe they should hire me to type this stuff in.

So… who exactly was the victim’s what?
Grammar matters. Apostrophes aren’t for decoration. It should’ve just said “victims.”
This is not how you win an Emmy.
Honestly, hire me, I know where the apostrophe goes.

Spelling errors launching before the fireworks even start.
"You read it here first" takes the front seat over accuracy, yet again. 😅
"Pavillion Park"? Come on, KREM, it’s Pavilion.
Spell it with us now: P-A-V-I-L-I-O-N.

Ever read a movie description so brutally honest it loops all the way back to hilarious? 😂
Seems The Wizard of Oz is a story about a girl who commits murder, then forms a kill squad with three strangers. Somewhere over the rainbow... is a felony case. ☠️

Just a friendly reminder from this very serious-looking gentleman: the correct spelling is SCHOOL, not SCHOOL. Don’t go putting the second “O” before the first one. That’s absolute chaos! 😆✏️

When applying the law, it helps to spell it right.
Speed limi? Spacing issues? Proofreading missed the turn. 🚗💨

Photo of potatoes in green and red egg-dyeing cups, with a caption that says "Dying potatoes as an alternative to eggs"
Dying = leaving a state of life
Dyeing = making something a different color

Apostrophes primarily indicate possession (ownership) or contractions (omitted letters). For possession, use 's after singular nouns and just an apostrophe after plural nouns ending in 's'.
