I wonder if the writer survived this error

Sometimes on Survivor, when the participants are speaking quietly, captions will appear for the viewers. In this case, from the episode that aired on October 30, the caption featured a misspelling of embarrassing. This isn't real-time captioning, and is therefore inexcusable.

All the Rs were used up

Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal battled in this year's US Open final on September 9, 2013. At one point during the match the camera focused on Nadal's girlfriend, who was watching from the stands. Oh - no wait: It was Nadal's girlfiend. Urban Dictionary's top entry for girlfiend is this definition: "A girl who's your friend but treats you like a boyfriend without the positive benefits. Such as sex, emotional support and compassion."

Write it, then proofread it

I've had this one for a while, but I just never got around to posting it until now. I'm a fan of Amazing Race, but I'm not a fan of the above question that was on the bio for every team on the most recent season. Click the image to enlarge it.

Not dealing with typos

During the latest leg of the race, Vyxsin said, "I cannot deal with your psycho behavior". In the recap's main body, it is written that Vyxsin said, "I cannot deal with your psycho behavior". However, the recap's title has Vyxsin saying something else. Or maybe it's not at all related to what Vyxsin said. From the Amazing Race recap of Season 18: Episode 08 on CBS.com on April 18, 2011.

she and her sisters scoured

-- Amazing Race recap on CBS.com on May 4, 2009

The Amazing Race (my favorite show, by the way) features teams of two racing for a million dollars. Jen and her sister - singular - scoured after Jen used the porta-potty. Can you believe she did that when they were mere minutes from the Pit Stop. In doing so, Jaime & Cara passed them to claim the third and final spot in next week's finale. I couldn't have been happier.

Worse Nightmare; Super Bowl Commerical

-- CBS.com homepage on February 2, 2009

Bud Light's commercial is actually "Worst Nightmare", and did you see how I typed the word commercial, with the c before the i? Yeah, that's the correct way. CBS got it right once, but not the second time.
