Inappropriate Language

Well, that's one way to put it. and I'll always wonder who brought it to the newspaper staff's attention. My guess would be that the young golfer or her mother got on the phone and let the paper people know that she wouldn't be clipping that photo for her album anytime soon. A much smaller version of the same photo appeared today with this caption: "Shikellamy's C.J.Taylor
hits a drive off the tee at the Susquehanna Valley Country Club on Thursday. An editing mistake in Friday's edition placed inappropriate language in the photo caption."

Let this be a lesson to your fingers, folks. The letters i and o sit companionably side-by-side on your keyboard, but they are not interchangable. In this case, one key made an embarrassing difference.
