Accidental WP reference
« on: October 20, 2024, 06:10:46 AM »
The NY Post is too cheap to use a human proofreader, so they rely on inadequate spell checkers. The result is tons of non-spelling mistakes that go unnoticed. The latest example is in a story about the late One Direction singer Liam Payne…

No, the guy who wrote the article wrote “Kool” cigarettes, but a spell-checker evidently read that as an error and “corrected” it to Kook. 😂

I think you missed the point. It likely wasn't the writer, but the AI (or lack thereof) which caused the typo/reference.
