The Kansas State hoops operation needs a copy editor to keep it from making a mistake like this one:
That, of course, is guard Shane Southwell. Not Souhtwell.
And it wasn’t just the nameplate on Shane’s jersey that went, well, South. K-State is biting the big one this year on the scoreboard as well.
Thanks to all the folks who sent this to me this week.
You know who else needs copy editors? Baseball jersey manufacturers. And the New York Jets, the Minnesota Vikings and the St. Louis Cardinals. And college athletic department ticket offices. And the Virginia general assembly. And college alumni magazines. And pharmacies. And Borders bookstore. And Tea Party candidates. And city and county Boards of Elections. And Google News’ ‘bots. And billboard companies. And sign painters. And rubber stamp designers. And restaurants, breakfast joints and cake decorators. And the Washington Post, the New York Times, the New York Post, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Virginian-Pilot, the Green Bay Press-Gazette, CNN and Time magazine. And drive-in movie theater managers. And Home Depot and manufacturers of “hoodies.” And T-shirt designers. And road paving contractors.
Let me guess … It was a bunch of University of Kansas fans who sent you this item? :)
Guilty as charged, though I’ve sent in other teams’ errors before.
In your lead of this article,

you may find “a copy editors” to be a singular issue.
