Ill be the first to admit I can spell worth a damn, but as a journalist you should at least have some grasp of the language, a spell checker, and lastly a proof reader. Ahhhh screw all that print it !

Proof readers are a near extinct species in journalism. I don't know how many typos I come across reading our daily newspaper, which btw is considered a "quality" paper, but in more boulevardesque papers it's even worse.

Although, reporter+aviation seems to be a particularly bad combination.

That should have been "I'll be the first to admit that I can't spell worth a damn"
