21Alive's Turn In The Barrel

Looks like 21Alive "updated" everything in this story except for the word "die" being used instead of the correct version: "died". 

The Maven is unsure if this is a simple spelling error, a misunderstanding of the correct use of the English language, or is this is some sort of cute, trendy "street talk" that young people seem to think makes them sound hip, cosmic and socially aware. 



At any rate, it illustrates the lack of caution, care and concern and how words, when improperly used, can often reflect on the viewer's, listener's, reader's perception of the media product they are consuming. 

Thank you to the alert reader who brought this to the Maven's attention.
