Unspeakable errors

Today in JMC 414, we talked about articles published in the Parthenon. They had many errors in them. However, some mistakes seemed more unforgivable than others. The men's story pulled from the wire had a wordy lead. The time elements was not where it was supposed to be. The rule of thumb is to keep it as close to the verb as possible. At the end after WOWK TV, it said would be broadcast on the Capital Classic Network. It wasn't necessary. On the women's story, the Capital Classic was not capitalized. It seemed like sheer laziness to me. How can it be capitalized on the men's and not the women's? It's right there in front of your eyes!
