Headlines to make you smile...
 
From the Laconia Citizen today, Dec. 29th, here is a headline about Baltimore Ravens making the NFL playoffs. Ya gotta love auto-correct / auto-spell.

How many people looked at this before it went to press????

Hope this starts a Happy New Year for all.

It appears that they corrected it online, but the URL is still "birth"... LOL!

Happens a lot
 
If you read the Citizen often you will notice multiple errors in almost every edition.

In past years in a story about the fire at the condos on Alton Bay the report called them "18,000 Sq. Ft. condos". I didn't think they were quite that big.

In a motorcycle accident story the report called the motorcycle a Honda at one point, and a Harley at another point. I emailed them and pointed out the error and the reply from the Citizen was that it was a Honda dressed to look like a Harley.

I enjoy reading the Laconia Sun online and stopped reading the Laconia Citizen when they started charging for it. I didn't think it was worth paying for.

I don't pay, but there are some stories you can read in full, some you can't. I also enjoy reading the LDS, although maybe not so many of the letters to the editor.
