Spelling and grammatical errors have plagued the Sentinel ever since I started reading it in 1968. A fellow middle school teacher used to use it in her classes, awarding bonus points to students who found errors. Students always found something.

When errors are made, contact city editor, Eric Conrad. I do, and he's VERY open to constructive criticism, unlike a TV station down here which ignored my emails about inaccurate reporting on Maine lobster (FDA Says Don't eat Maine Lobster - they left out that it's the tamale that's dangerous, not the lobster).report abuse

But these errors and this lack of professionalism is what makes the Morning Sentinel so much fun to read! Keep up the good work!report abuse
