    This morning’s local paper sports section ran 2 photos with captions talking about the Ravens win over the Houston Titans.

    And also, they are mobile.

    No thanks, I want something I can carry around.

    There was also a type-o in a subheadline this morning on the front page of the Business Section. I mean, I’m not one to talk, God only knows my spelling could be improved, but I don’t charge.

    I want one of these jobs, I have a perfectly mediocre grasp of the obvious.

    And the best part of about comments sections is that I can leave comments in the comments sections.

    TG-

    That’s why I don’t pay for the local newspaper anymore.

    GRAMMATICAL ERRORS ARE FREE ON THE INTERNET.

    I suspect that there is more typo content than porn. Often combined.

    I am guessing it is actually an editor’s fault. Original sentence:

    Another reason for the shift toward mobile is that the porn is portable.

    Inarguably true.

    Mr. Zombie,

    I had to stop visiting Raw Story due to the abysmal grammatical errors. The Chicago Tribune (!) doesn’t know the difference between “its” and “it’s”. Most writers don’t. And these people have jobs! That pay money. But I guess they work for cheap so that makes it okay.

    Zombie -

    Your words ring true. But I’m only guessing.

    I use iBook to read books.

    ….I suspect that there is more typo content than porn

    Should I start posting porn to address the imbalance?

    What happens to mobile devices when we stand still?

    Hah! Wait until you’re stuck outside of Mobile with the Memphis blues again, and see how you feel then.

    Buy a portable toilet and see how mobile that is.

    Or how incommoding a mobile portable toilet is when trying to have a movement.
