| From the Friday 2/15 state-by-state news section of USA Today: "The Newport (R.I.)Tree Commission has named a cooper leaf beach as the city's tree of the year for 2012." Word has it that the "cooper leaf beach" narrowly beat out a paprika white beach and a two-lipped pooper for tree of the year honors. :) |

| cooper leaf beach? I don't get it. Is that two typos? Y'all seem to be making a play on words .... |

| You could tell EXACTLY when our own paper moved to what amounts to desk-top publishing where the journalist does their own proofing (or not). I thought Mac had spell check? Hit that submit and it's a wrap. I was reading a national publication online last week and I can forgive a typo, but this journalist was speaking about something surviving in-tack. I must have reached old-fogeydom because yes, it did bother me. |
