Thread: Why newspapers shouldn't rely on spellcheck!

    Why newspapers shouldn't rely on spellcheck!

    A news article from the local paper: (bold text is mine)

    WHITNEY POINT — The Village of Whitney Point is reminding residents and visitors that vehicle parking on public streets between the hours of 2 to 6 a.m. is prohibited from Nov. 1 - May 1.

    In addition, it is the duty of all owners of occupants of lands fronting any sidewalk upon a public street to keep them clear of ice and snow. Failure to keep sidewalks clear can result in the village taking action to remove ice and snow and charging a fee to the property owner.

    I thought we fixed that whole owning people thing 160 years ago?

    IN addition, why should I have to keep the occupants I own free of ice and snow?

    Well, frankly, if you are going to own occupants it seems to me the least you can do is keep them free of ice and snow!
