Another News24 classic?

Isn't it supposed to be 'Couple tie the knot....'?

Couple the knot at airport
2009-12-23 14:22

Corpus Christi - A woman in a wedding gown surprised her fiancé by greeting him at a Texas airport along with a justice of the peace.

Robyn Moore and William Acosta exchanged vows on Monday at Corpus Christi International Airport after he got off a plane arriving from Toledo, Ohio.

Photos were taken near a Christmas tree at a security checkpoint.

Acosta, who was wearing jeans and a sweater, says he was speechless and thrilled by the wedding Moore planned.

Moore says she and Acosta "spent half our relationship in airports".

The couple got a marriage licence last week and planned to marry this month, at a site to be determined.

Moore and Acosta met in 2008 in Dallas, where she lived and he was on a business trip. They plan to live in Toledo.

eish it just gets worse....

they make mistakes almost every day now ... surely they have an online editor who checks these articles before being added to the website
 
The worst is the number of banners or placards I've seen with grammatical and/or spelling errors.

Surely you have the client who orders it, then the person who lays it out, then the person who "prints" it, then the manager or sales person who checks before delivery, then the client again who surely checks it on receipt and finally the person who puts up the banner or placard?! Do all of them miss these errors?

The other day it was a restaurant with a large placard stating :

"Restuarant customers only"

+1 I notice it almost every day too.... little mistakes that if I could pick it up at first glance you would hope some editor could too. But I don't want to be starting new threads every time I spot a News24 'error', heck I'd be a Super Grandmaster by no time :twisted:

Edit: I actually email them when I spot mistakes but do you think they ever respond... once I saw an article that claims Michael Schumacher "turns 31 in January"...LOL! I emailed them and not too long afterwards it was corrected :-)
