amNY Watch: Just Making Up Words

It’s been nearly six months since I’ve done an edition of amNewYork Watch, my once-weekly feature pointing out glaring errors in the free daily newspaper published by the bankrupt Tribune Company. I pretty much stopped reading amNewYork around that time, switching to the lighter Metro, simply because they offer two Sudoku to amNY’s one.

This morning, a hawker in Union Square was standing over a pile of copies of Metro, so I took one from him. Fortunately for you, dear reader, it turned out to be today’s amNewYork he was handing out. And at the risk of beating a dead horse and kicking a newspaper when it’s down, they’re still just as bad as ever.

Apparently, Tribune is so strapped for cash, they even cut back on spell check.

    They meant to say “patricians.” Bus drivers will now be guarded by an ancient Roman social class!
