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. #GrammarMatters #ProofreaderProblems #YouHeardItHereFirst #Spokane #LocalNews #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou

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? #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou #SlowIsSmoothSmoothIsFast

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. #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou

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. #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou #Krem2 #Spokane

Despite correctly referring to Željka Cvijanović, the Chairwoman of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina as “Her Excellency,” the letter to her begins with “Dear Mr. President.”

An en dash (–) or a hyphen can be used to indicate a range of years, as well as other numbers, providing the meaning "(up) to and including." En dash = to, through, or between. Thus, 45-47 includes 46. #GrammarFail

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. ☠️ #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou

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! 😆✏️ #ProofreaderLife #GrammarHumor #SpellingMatters #SpellcheckCannotSaveYou

This is a view from my office. Every day, these two ducks arrive, they swim around for a while, do a little sunbathing, have sex, then leave. What a life. I'm confused as to why they come here and hang out in a saltwater pool. Seagulls, I can understand, but ducks? Happy #HumpDay.

Blame Thor’s dad for the ‘d’ in ‘Wednesday.’ The day was named after Odin, also known as ‘Woden’ --> ‘Woden’s Day.’ Woden is the Norse equivalent of the Roman god Mercury. Mercury can be seen in the French/Spanish/Italian words for Wednesday: mercredi/miércoles/mercoledì.
