It’s really heartening to have a
full list of news like this, this week,
but one thing that would really help
eliminate errors would be if anyone
submitting news with names in it,
take a few seconds to print all
names carefully. There’s nothing
harder for The Citizen’s staff than
trying toguess at how names might
have been meant to be spelled.
