Under a very unfortunate story about two boys who had been struck by lightning in a summer camp, the Commentators* had a problem with the editors incorrect spelling of the word "lightning".
Although this is actually a positive thing that people knew the proper spelling and cared enough to correct it. It is another example of how the YWN readership post comments as if they are the only commentator.
Below are four posts correcting the spelling and a fifth post from someone who wasn't bothered to much.
1. Again, its lightning not lightening. Editor, please be aware of obvious headline spelling mistakes since they undermine the journalistic integrity of Yeshiva World at large.
2. How are the bachurim?And, please - the word is lightning.
3. Boruch Hashem they are being released. PLEASE!!!!!! - the word is LIGHTNING not lightening. Please change it already! It is making eyes hurt.
4. how are the boys, and its LIGHTNING NOT LIGHTENING
5. TOO ALL THOSE concurned about the weigh lightening is spelt- beg deel-knot everywon has too alwayes spel everything the weight u like it. u half to chil. so he maid a miss-steak theerfore wat.
* I will capitalize the word "commentator" from now on.
