Spellcheck Not Enough

Check out this headline from our local NBC station:

Gator Alludes Capture

Spellcheck doesn't catch everything, people. Good proofreading does.

BTW, no, we don't normally have gators up here. So it's not surprising the Game & Fish boys are having problems catching it.

No worries. If they don't get him, the winter freeze will.

Hmmm....are these people related to any of the folks who decided to redesign the Fox News website?

Wow, that is one of the most poorly-written news articles I've seen in a while. I like the "Alludes," "arkansas," and the sentence that ends in ".." is just beautiful.

So, no matter how clever he can be in a conversation, he still isn't welcome in that neighborhood?

So I don't get what this gator is saying. Is he saying he wants to be captured? He should be captured? He has been captured? I'm so confused....
