Hardly a spelling mistake.

And it's the headline of the story.

Is the word misspelled? Then it's a spelling mistake. Doesn't matter where in the article it occurs. A typo is a typo.

It's misspelled?

So now you're saying the word is spelled correctly for the title?

Wouldn't electrical order be preferable to electrical disorder?

On the death of Chris Cornell the following quote appeared "Ativan belongs to the class of drugs known as benzodiazepines, or “benzos.” Benzodiazepines block the brain’s select neurotransmitters to slow hyperactive metal processs."

I guess this was some kind of Freudian slip? Did they mean to say Heavy metal process?

Didn't y'all see Friday's news? Harvard did a study and found out that journalists are mostly stupid and drunk.

American Airlines flight forced to land after electrical order is detected

Published May 19, 2017 Associated Press

MORRISVILLE, N.C. – An American Airlines flight has made an unscheduled landing at a North Carolina airport after a strong electrical odor was detected on board.

Spokeswoman Katie Cody said Flight 1889 from Charlotte to Hartford, Connecticut, was diverted to Raleigh-Durham International Airport, where it landed safely at 5:01 p.m. Friday.

Cody said three crewmembers were taken to the hospital as a precaution. She said a maintenance crew is evaluating the Airbus 320.

A statement from Raleigh-Durham said six others on the flight were checked out by medical responders, but declined to go to the hospital.

Another American flight diverted on its way to Charlotte. Flight 1866 from Providence, Rhode Island, to Charlotte, reported an engine-related issue en route and diverted to Hartford. No one was hurt.

We had that happen on a flight 15 years ago and the flight crew didn't pay any attention to it, like I guess it happens all the time.

Well, Siri isn't worth a damn, then. And shouldn't we expect a little better than "oops, damn autocorrect" from a site that is supposed to give us news and information?
