There's no since in editing...

Clearly, there doesn't seem to be much since in the editing office these days, and no since actually proofreading anymore - with the poor reading scores these days, doubtful many people even caught this!

Absalootely Apaullling....

Just got around to reading the Editorial page. Thought maybe there was some symbolism in the Powell cartoon that was too subtle for little ol' me. But no, I see that others who actually read the paper on Sunday have commented far more concisely. How many other errors are missed by your staff?

Spell goof

My apologies for this error. Several of you asked how I could have misspelled this word and I can only say 'I don't know." While inking in the letters I have made minor errors that the editor has always caught. Of the thousands of cartoons I've drawn for the News and Observer I can only recall one or two that got into print with a spelling error. In any case, this one was pretty egregious and you were all justified to call me on it. I will certainly be paying closer attention to the lettered captions in the future

P. Cunningham beat me to this! "No since keeping these..."?How in the world could you misspell this word?

I enjoy your cartoons, but

I enjoy your cartoons, but but agree with the previous comment. Spelling mistakes are really distracting. Does someone check for this kind of error?

Yes, sadly the cartoon on the editorial page that began, "No since..." should have read "No sense...", but we have to remember how many times over the years we have had to lower the bar in all aspects of society so we can be diverse and feel good about ourselves. I feel good! It could have read, "No cents..."! The News & Observer obviously has a well educated, diverse editorial staff with high self esteem. And after all, what's more important than that?

Sunday cartoon.

Joe Turner — Sun, 11 May 2008 11:18:21 -0400

Shouldn't 'No since keeping' be 'No sense keeping', or is that all nonsense?

I was appalled to open the op ed page and read your cartoon this morning. The use of an incorrect word, in this case "since" when it should have been "sense" by the higher level editorial staff of our newspaper is totally unacceptable. I can accept that mistakes do happen, but was there no one proof reading this work? Who is in charge over there? What a great example this sets for all of our school children. I hope they stick with the comics.

It should be "no sense". This is really an embarrassing mistake, in my humble opinion. I almost spilled my morning coffee when I saw this error. That no one caught it is shocking.

I can't believe the use of since instead of sense made it into publication. Whatever happened to editors?

"No since . . ."? Is he trying to say "No sense . . . "?
