The problems began on
the MSN Canada homepage on March 7, 2012. That is not the correct spelling of
paraplegic. The problems really got going

in CBC's version of the same article - "
Paraplegic's huge hospital bill cancelled" on CBC News on March 7, 2012. At least
paraplegic was correct in the headline (which has now been updated to "Paraplegic's $27,800 air ambulance bill cancelled"). But for now, pay attention to the word
cancelled. Then,

the subject of the story gets introduced as Brent Worrall. Then,

his last name gets changed to Worral. Then,

it gets changed to Worrell. Then,

it returns to its orginal spelling. But, why does
cancelled in the headline get the two-L treatment, while
travelers gets just one L? CBC is a Canadian company, and both of those words should contain two Ls. Click an image to enlarge it.
