Haha didn't want to waste a whole thread with this nonsense but I thought of you when I did something last week, because I think you did something similar once, if I remember correctly. I saw a tremendously bad type-o on foxnews.com and wrote them the meanest letter ...

Dear Foxnews.com,
Who does your proofreading? When I first read the headline, "School's Get Failing Grades on Junk Food Report Cards," I thought the writer must have intended irony. To my surprise, the article was not satirical. Since when is an apostrophe necessary to create the plural of "school?"
I got a nice laugh out of the ironic placement of such an error within a headline dealing directly with a school's report card. I suggest, however, that you spend a little more time in the editing room. I'm embarrassed for you.
Sincerely,
Amanda
