Spelling is a lost art at many stations, and not all of them in the smaller markets. However, Channel 7 does seem to put up more than its share of improperly spelled words in graphics.
A station in Cleveland once had a viz that was supered "Brest Cancer" instead of "Breast Cancer." On the 11 PM news the attempt to correct resulted in "Beast Cancer." Perfect if somebody's beast had cancer.
