Ever run spell check to see what your sources’ names would look like afterward? I have, to hilarious result. I’m reserving the corrected names to protect the innocent, but try running your name through a spell checker to see what I mean.

In any case, the AP ran a story about spell-check gone wild in a high school yearbook.

Middletown Area High School’s yearbook listed Max Zupanovic as “Max Supernova,” Kathy Carbaugh as “Kathy Airbag” and Alessandra Ippolito as “Alexandria Impolite,” just to name a few.

Only four of the yearbook pages have those corrections on them.

Just goes to show that spell check is not a good backup system. That’s what good copy editors are for.
