    At least they didn't print:

    Lettuce snow, lettuce snow, lettuce snow.

    Coulda been worse. They could have typed it the same as Craig Ferguson's Twitter hashtag: #leTitsNow, leTitsNow, leTitsNow.

    (I say this as a person who once put different scores in the kicker, the first paragraph and the boxscore of the same story, early, early in my career.)

    I can say this much, I've had press guys call me up o bring me a copy of what is about to run and say "did you mean to do this?" and then point out an error. While it's clear where the error began, it still should have been caught by somebody, pess guys included. I'm eternally grateful for the press guys at my shop. ;)

    Somebody posted a screen-grab on Facebook from some TV news station's weather report:
    FORECAST: RAIN AND SNOT

    That's funny, because on my keyboard the "T" isn't even next to the "W".

    That's the other thing. The headline is hackneyed.
