Dear NFL:

I applaud your Crucial Catch campaign and can even tolerate the idea of auctioning off "game worn" (read: sweated on) jerseys, towels and gloves to raise money and awareness for breast cancer.

But do you think you could spell all of the players' names correctly?

Thank you.

Kerry

P.S. Go, Jaguars.

Dear Person at Action News Who Types the Captions:

I guess you were out sick the day your third grade teacher taught the grammar rule: change the "y" to "i" and add "es."

Sincerely,
Kerry

Dear Congressman Corrine Brown:

Now that you've "established an exploratory committee" for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Mel Martinez (whatever that means), you may want to pay a little more attention to the messages that are going out to your constituents.

Case in point: This blurb on the Corrine Brown for Senate website about the "Navel Depot."

Unless you did, in fact, save a belly button warehouse from being shut down, I think you meant "naval."

Then, there's this photo of you on a passenger train.

In the "Legislative Career" section, you mention that you've been on the Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure for 17 years and currently serve as Chair of the Transportation Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials. I would have thought that would be enough time to learn that it's spelled "Amtrak," but I guess not.

If, after reading my brilliant insights, you do decide to part ways with the staffers responsible for these gaffes, don't feel badly. They can always get a job working on the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair's website.

Sincerely, Kerry

P.S. You never commented on my homage to your hats last month. You know I was just messing with you, right?

Note: Special thanks to our friends at Jacksonville Confidential for bringing Corrine's candidacy to our attention. They also have an interesting reason for supporting her candidacy.

"With newspapers folding and many denizens in the old media not understanding the new media, the young entrepreneurs at metrojacksonville.com are on the edge of the curve... They are using the web the way it is meant to be used, incorporating a level of interactivity that most newspapers haven’t grabbed onto."

So says Alan Colmes about about Jacksonville's own MetroJacksonville.com on his blog Liberaland. The syndicated radio liberal talk show host, Fox News Channel liberal commentator, liberal author and liberal also lauded MetroJacksonville for the site's "clean design and easy-to-navigate interface" and commented it can be "a blueprint for how the web can be maximized for the greater good."

I would like to suggest he make more liberal use of spellcheck.

UPDATE: I posted a comment on Liberaland last night about the typo, and what do you know, this morning it's fixed. You're welcome, Alan.

I don't know if the staff at the Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair are dizzy from riding the Octopus one too many times, but they might want to wait until their heads stop spinning before they try typing.

All of these typos were found on one page of the Fair's website.
