WOWO: Please Get The Kids In The Newsroom A New Keyboard

This is getting ridiculous. The famous (or now, infamous) WOWO Newsroom is turning out news copy that, for lack of a better term, looks and reads like crap. 
No, we're not talking content here. We're still seeing the same issues with mismatched tenses, spelling errors, dangling participles, and confusing thought structure. No, this time we're talking about running words together for no reason. It has to be a keyboard issue. There is no other explanation. 


So, to the empty suits at Federated Media, the Maven is pleading with you to cough up a few extra bucks and buy the kids in the newsroom a new keyboard. I know it might mean fewer lunches at Eddie Merlot's or a few less trips to the massage parlor, but I'm sure you folks on Maples Road or at the home office in Mishawaka can find the money. 
The Maven has even picked out a dandy keyboard for the kids and I'm sure your news director will appreciate the humor in using a keyboard named Black Widow
You are welcome.

    I can relate to having a keyboard where the SPACE key doesn;t work on the FIRST tap...or the 2nd, 3rd or 4th...
    Then again, having to constantly BACK UP to re-hit the key to ADD that space does take time.
    Good catch.

    Stay safe out there.
