Copy Edit The World #3


This is from the MSNBC News app on my iPhone. The line in the middle accidentally spells blanket as "blacket."



The first word in this story spells the name of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter wrong.  Her name is supposed to be spelled "Dannielynn" instead of Danielynn.


To be fair, this isn't an originally found typo.  This was an amusing story I saw on the news about an elementary school that misspelled its own name for 9 years. Posters, flyers, t-shirts, and other memorabilia all used the spelling "Sunrise-McMillian" when it should really be "Sunrise-McMillan" with no extra "i."
