Spelling errors are bound to pop up during newscasts but it’s remarkable how often they occur on stories dealing with education.
Last week, KNBC misspelled Purdue University on a professor’s dropline as she spoke about how students’ spelling has gotten worse.
And this week Columbus’s WCMH misspelled “proficient” (left) while covering a recent education report showing that students lacked a proficient knowledge of U.S. history. [h/t NewsBlues]
