If so, that might explain why obituaries from June 23 mistakenly ran in Sunday’s Hartford Courant. The paper ran an acknowledgement on the front of today’s edition.
But while we’re on the subject of today’s Courant, there’s this headline that ran above the fold: “Jet Came In Too Slow For Landing.” You don’t have to be Rob Kyff to know that a jet comes in too slowly.
And you don’t have to be a critic to know that those two characters probably didn’t fit. Headline writing is harder than blog writing and sniping.
Slow is an adverb and is correct in this usage. Please check the dictionary before playing grammar police.
Here are two errors from The Courant’s online version that I saw just this week:
A caption underneath the photo of a career coach indicated that she lived in “Weathersfield”[sic]. Can’t the oldest continuously published newspaper in the United States correctly spell one of the oldest town names in Connecticut?
A caption under a photo of a movie scene being filmed at Lake Compounce described Diane Keaton as waiting “on” the crew. Was she sitting on them? How about “waiting for”?
