Whoo hoo! So rare to find a news article without any typos. It’s time to celebrate! An article published by The Associated Press on MSNBC entitled “Obama vows to address record deficit woes” has not a single typo. Read it for yourself and then tell me what you think. I couldn’t find a single one.

As a copywriter and editor, it’s my job to find all manner or grammatical errors and smite them wherever they be. What makes my job a lot easier is if there are none to begin with. Such occurrences are worthy of praise. Kudos to you AP. Nicely done!

Compliments to MSNBC for posting this article on their site, Ethics panel: No punishment for Sen. Burris, and the The Associated Press for writing it. Negative kudos, however, for an overlooked typo.

The Associated Press wrote:

The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee has completed its review into this matter and found that Sen. Burris actions have brought discredit on him and the Senate.

What a seasoned copywriter would have written:

The U.S. Senate Ethics Committee has completed its review into this matter and found that Sen. Burris‘ actions have brought discredit on him and the Senate.

A small correction, but necessary for grammatical perfection.
