Kentucky Newspaper Publishes Horrendous John Calipari Error Amid Rumors Of Him Being On The Hot Seat
Mistakes happen, they're inevitable, but an egregious error in the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper involving John Calipari certainly should never have happened.
One would imagine that somebody, anybody, involved with the Herald-Leader would have noticed John Calipari's name misspelled before Monday's edition of the paper was printed, but no.
You would also assume that every single person living in Lexington, Kentucky would know how to spell Calipari's last name, but that is clearly not the case.
In a giant headline on the front of the paper, Calipari was spelled ‘Kalipari.’
Brutal.
What's even more unfortunate is that somebody who works their tail off for the newspaper while getting paid far too little got an ear full for not catching the error before it went to print.
It's funny to think how things have changed in the world of errors in newspapers over the last few decades.
Thirty years ago, before social media took over all of our lives, you'd notice a spelling error in the paper, tell your wife who could not possibly care less about it, and move on with your day. The newspaper's office would maybe get a call or two from angry readers clamoring about integrity or something, but not a lot would come from it.
Nowadays, an error happens in print and the entire world, literally, can see it and then consequently bitch about it.
Matt Jones, the unofficial mayor of Lexington, shared the photo to his 300,000 Twitter followers and it has been seen by 365,000 people in four hours.
If this isn't evidence of the 20th century simply being better - a time when you could misspell things and essentially get away with it - I'm not sure what is.
