What if Andy Reid read this and killed himself? Shame on you for saying he sucked.

Everyone on here dumps on Burakovsky everyday. No one here is a better hockey player than Burakovsky. People point out every puck he loses.
So because I'm not a better journalist than Khurshudyan I can't point out when she makes a mistake?
Pretty dumb.
I do so appreciate irony, but man, how good does it feel to say stuff like this now. Last spring changed everything for the better.
I haven't signed up to be a twit so maybe someone that has can tell me if it has spell check. And I would agree that someone who writes for a living should know how to spell, especially these days when it takes all of 15 seconds to verify such. As far as editors go, I really don't know what they do anymore as there are far too many examples in the daily news of proofreading being a lost art.
Is this board going to be like this every year until the playoff starts now?
Proofreading is not editing and most news outlets have cut their copyediting too.I haven't signed up to be a twit so maybe someone that has can tell me if it has spell check.

"Suture" is an uncommon word, and all the misspelling likely shows is that she learned the word by hearing it, rather than reading it. People who predominantly learn words through speech (probably not Isabelle) tend to misspell things more, and people who predominantly learn them through reading tend to mispronounce them more. In a much broader sense than here, the criticism is sort of legitimate because dumber people (unlike Isabelle, who is smart) are likelier to fall into the first category, and that's why you get people like Sean Hannity (and David Duke) mishearing "biased" as "bias" and so on.She literally just won the best NHL beat writer award as voted on by her peers. This conversation is absolutely insane.
As a tangent, I think the Capitals/Washington Post have had some of the best beat writers in the league in recent memory. Tarik, Katie Carerra (she redeemed herself with the torching if GMGM and Oates), Alex Prewitt, and Isabelle have all been solid to great.
