this is elementary school stuff

few things frustrate me more than this: The first line of this article from THV2 in Little Rock... "It's a disgrace and should not of happened." (referring to comments made by ex-FEMA Director James Lee Witt at a conference earlier this week). I'm sure it sounded like he said "of" rather than "have", but I'm pretty certain Mr. Witt understands the English language well enough to know the difference between "should of" and "should have". Seriously, for a reporter to submit copy with this mistake and for editors not to have corrected it, is a disgrace of its own that should not "have" happened. That's pathetic. [update: thankfully, they fixed it]
