Is this the worst spelling ever in Cranbury's Press Headline?
2 typos? And a headline that highlights the school... |

| I thought the paper was dying, but not even proof reading now really shows their lack of attention. |

| At first I thought it was a joke -- like it WASN't a spelling bee -- LOL. I thought the story would start to a reference to the misspelled headline - but no -- either an egregious mistake or a badly delivered joke. |

Now if that had been the spelling bee....that would have been funny
I just feel bad for the parents of all the kids who keep the article and stick it in a photo album. Look, we live in "dumb town" |

Keep the Cranbury Press alive and you get what you pay for and what you deserve.
The Cranbury Press is obviously not Cranbury and it is quickly slipping into extinction.

| I thought the apology was funny as the editor said it was his job to spellcheck and proof. What he didn't say is the editor also writes the headline. Say what you want about Hank, but at least he kept the critical columns about town and retrospectives, but he never had grammar errors. |

Yea Hank got his grammar correct when repeatedly writing nonsense columns for a Cranbury paper about how small towns like ours should consolidate into larger ones and close our schools to merge into larger ones without once using a single fact or statistic to demonstrate why this would make either financial or academic sense. In fact, he had to ignore all the facts about how our finances, crime rate and academic achievements are all better than the towns we would have to merge with. Then his excuse is that he didn't mean Cranbury. So why, repeatedly, publish editorials in the CRANBURY paper that are directly applicable to Cranbury but supposedly not mean Cranbury without ever once acknowledging why Cranbury would be the exception ? He seemed completely disinterested in the local community and just wanted a forum for his state and federal opinion agenda.
It's also unfair to compare his tenure to now given that they are operating with a fraction of the budget or personnel now. But I would take some humorous typos over all the off-topic editorials anyway. I don't might editorials, whether I agree with them or not, but make them relevant to Cranbury or the neighboring communities. If I wan third rate opinions about national and state issues there are plenty of more appropriate outlets for that. |
