Oh, CBC, how you make me laugh. Because if I didn't laugh, I'd cry endlessly over how inept you are. Take this one sentence from this one article - "Canucks squander strong Game 2 start" on CBC Sports online on April 17, 2010 - for example. BC Place has a FieldTurf surface that replicates real grass, while GM Place has an ice surface that is nothing like real grass. Which one do you think is the home of the Vancouver Canucks? Here's a hint: the Canucks play ice hockey. Also, post-comma it should be the Kings had tied the score, partly due to no D.
This article, unlike many others, actually has the writer's name attached. I wonder if that means the errors will be corrected soon, unlike the anonymous articles. However, the article has apparently been updated since I captured the errors, and both errors remain as of now. Click the image to enlarge it.
[It's now 2 p.m. PDT on April 19th, and scored has been corrected to score. BC Place remains!]
