Yesterday's top story in
Vancouver 24 hours, "A net-worth challenge to fight malaria," has capitalization issues. The error of not capitalizing
western wouldn't be so obvious if the capitalized
Eastern wasn't right there. But that pales in comparison to the errors found in the accompanying "Malaria facts" box.
Since
yar has 3/4 of the letters of
year, does that mean 1.3 million people die from malaria each 3/4 of a year? So every 9 months? The whole purpose of the article is to report on and raise awareness of
insecticide-treated bed nets, but with an obvious misspelling and an absent hyphen apparently that phrase is too hard to write.
