Got Spellcheck?

My guess is that whoever is currently writing the headlines for the ProJo does not use Spellcheck on them. Perhaps they don't think it makes sense to use it because many proper names appear in the headlines, so it would just slow things down to use it. But...maybe it's because Mercury is retrograde, or perhaps the usual headline writer is on vacation or something. But whatever the reason, there is an inordinate number of typos in the headlines of Wednesday's ProJo, at least the web version. I suspect they may correct some of them in at least some of the print editions. But for now, we read:

• Crantson tax revenue at stake it talks with Water Supply Board


• Garabedian seeking way to halt concret plant


• Judge Dmitri, rest in peace [it's actually spelled Dimitri]


• In a letter to the philanthropist, Coucnil President John J. Lombardi describes the "monumemtal problems" facing the city's schools and asks for help. [this was in a sub-headline]

Having collected these, I realize that they are all from either the letters section (which has lately been notoriously bad about typos in headlines) or from the various local sections that are not distributed statewide except on the web. So perhaps a different person is responsible for writing those headlines. But no matter what, sloppy, sloppy, sloppy.
