amNY Watch: Triple Trouble
What, you think I forgot about amNY Watch? Of course not! No week would be complete without it. And like the past 51 weeks, this week’s issues of amNewYork are rife with typographical errors that even a kindergartener could find. Here’s one from the food page of yesterday’s issue:

And then there’s this lovely headline from today’s entertainment news:
That headline was a bit of a stretch, amNewYork… even for you. “Liquor-ative?” In place of “lucrative?” Um, no. “Liquor-ative” might be an appropriate play on “decorative” (and even that’s a stretch), but not “lucrative.” Sorry! Please try again.

Mike says:What’s this? A flicker of creativity in the predictable sea of black and white? Send up a (flair) for it, before all is lost in an alliterative allusion to literacy! It’s far better to have it “Liquor-itive” than Lax-ative!At least it got your attention.

Rick says:Find Hoboken: Get on the PATH train to Hoboken. Ride said PATH train. Exit train.
Why a New York City commuter paper need to explain where to “find” Hoboken make no sense whats so ever.

jason says:It was really the 16 tablespoons of butter that got me. Isn’t there a larger measure out there? Or do they just want you to know that your heart will stop approximately 2 minutes after your teeth fall out?
