Old Habits....

For a low budget, tight bottom-line outfit, Quincy has dropped some serious coin on their remake of 21Alive. It's now ABC21, complete with new faces, fancy-looking news set, and a whiz-bang computer system that's eliminating support jobs left and right. Imagine, no one in the building after the 11pm news. 

But one thing remains constant. No one, apparently, knows how to type. 

Forget, for a moment, that this is a "victim" story about IPFW's Women's Studies program and the purported hate crimes committed against it. That's a story for another blogger to write. Instead, take a look at the grammatical disaster that 21Alive, uh, ABC21 has become famous for. 



The Maven will step aside and let ABC21's infamous brilliant hire, the now long-gone excitable chief meteorologist Carlo say those famous words of Maxwell Smart: "missed it by that much".

    You know, just hiring ONE good proofreader might indeed solve the plethora of problems they have with the kids working there.
    (at least employ some algorithm to figure out spell check and errors in grammar for the computers)
    THAT would be money WELL spent.

    Stay safe.
