Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

I read Windy Caviness’s letter, and I must say that I could not agree more when she says “but this year’s editor seems to get fewer and fewer mistakes as time goes on,” but I understand the contradiction she makes immediately after when she states “the paper becomes less and less of a joke each week.” There seems no feasible way for there to be this many mistakes made by the editor and for the paper to become less of a joke.

For example, in the Habitat for Humanity article, we see HFH used as an abbreviation in the title, but we see HFHI in the body of the story. Is HFHI different from HFH? As Caviness’s points out, the paper’s motto is “it is our duty to inform and your job to know.” How can we know if we are informed in an incomprehensible way? Maybe it is simply a typographical error, but there are too many abbreviations for organizations for there to be an error in them. Also, one of the photo captions reads “Bridget Kline and Rebecca Bryant spend time during their homework, so their weekends will be free.” I think that the caption needs no explanation; the editor should have never allowed something that horrible to be missed. I guess Ms. Caviness was right.
