According to Texas newspaper “The Gatesville Messenger”, unemployment dropped its modesty during April.
Only in April? Did it regain its modesty in May? Apparently.
And well it should. Unemployment is indeed something about which to be modest.
Likewise, the Gatesville Messenger should be modest about their copyediting.
C’mon, if you publish a newspaper, don’t rely on your spellchecker to do your proofreading for you!
You can see this offending headline for yourself, here, unless they’ve fixed it.

Being a bit nit-picky, aren’t we? I’d rather hear your comments on…I dunno…how about offshoring? Maybe share some thoughts on the policies of the current occupant of the White House?

I dunno..you don't find the issues of faking your sex online, and voter apathy, to be weighty enough leading into the weekend?
