Sometimes it is the writer's fault when a wrong word appears in print. But then again, where was the proof-reader or copy-editor whose job it is to catch the error? And does it really matter when it's just a small word? Will readers tend to skip over and not notice? Or will it stop them dead in their tracks with wonder? Or double them over in fits of laughter? You decide.
It all depends on point of view. In today's regional newspaper (which shall luckily remain nameless) a large black and white photo appears featuring a golfer in action. The one-line caption under her photo did make me snicker and for that I apologize.Must have stunned the athlete who has every right to say "this really stinks." Should have made the paper people cringe and point fingers at the perpetrator whose ineptness sent this to press:
" ------------- hits a tee SH*T during . . . . ."
