CNN.com today gave its readers yet another reason to believe that the website is going downhill by misspelling a word in a news article's title on the main page! Thousands of people have had to read the misspelled word so far and there is no indication that CNN.com wants to do anything about. It seems that what they're actually trying to say is "Hey, look at us, even though we're one of the top websites on the Internet, we can do whatever we want without a care in the world". It's a shame really.
The media giant's share price is expected to take a hard hit during today's trading. Warning: Posts in this forum are of a controversial nature; herein, subjectivity and irrationality rule!

The Spelling Nazi feels down. He needs a quick ego-boost.

amir, if I may borrow one of your tags for this one
<reflection callousness="maximum" narration="third-person"> What started out as an innocent post has now turned into an addiction...a source of condescending satisfaction for a layman who thinks that the Achilles Heel of a multi-billion dollar company is human fallibility manifested in minor spelling and proof-reading mistakes that most people wouldn't even notice. The big words used in the previous sentence only confirm the unbelievable arrogance of this layman. </reflection>
