I don’t read articles with misspellings in the title.

That was the first thing I noticed, too. First, the headline writer had to use a long-outdated buzz phrase which wasn’t very clever to start with, and then he couldn’t choose the correct homophone.

And if I never see another column headlined, “The Audacity of (Something)” or “The (Whichever) of Hope,” it will be too soon. (/irrelevant rant)
