And this killed me, truly made me die inside. The Dallas Morning News has a News Quiz on Tuesdays. Here's the Newsplace for 3/22/2022. Hello......question mark. I hope my readers know that what is marked is France. Their answer was Spain. From the news, that was the correct answer - extra Sahara dust did blanket Spain. BUT - the DSM education department (??) picked the wrong country to mark. Serious duh.
Texas is busy banning books - is one of them a geography book? Are there no proof readers at the News?
Yes, I wrote them a correction notice and they did post it on Wednesday. Huge sigh, though.
And that's our Monday Moments. Have a good week
The wrong country - how could they miss that?
ReplyDeletelack of proof readers, lack of education?
DeleteThis is happening all over. Not just in Texas. Fake news has made tolerance for alternative facts and ignorance-is-bliss type errors shift big time.
ReplyDeleteno good proofing left in the world. It hurts my brain!
DeleteMonday Moments - crazy ... people do not think or know ... frightening. Brilliant - thanks for telling us this awful educational error! They could have marked the UK - we get covered in red-dust too ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteQuite the goof. Maybe I'm the only one actually reading their paper - ha!
