Perhaps the Saline Courier should hire one of these winners to proofread headlines.

From Saline Courier
This is a post on the Facebook page of Saline Courier, one of Saline County, Arkansas' local newspapers.
There is an apostrophe missing in New Year's resolutions. The antecedent of it is resolutions; therefore, the word them should be used instead of it. Commas should separate the two independent clauses in the second sentence and again in the last sentence. Perhaps a proofreading resolution is in order for the newspaper staff.

A Collection
It's Jeopardy. This from FOX16, Little Rock, Arkansas.
Gold is not at IT IS highest price ever. If memory serves me correctly, this ad was in the Saline County Courier.
"Organiation" should be "Organization."
This is a mistake near and not-so-dear to my heart. I, too, once called a CHEST OF DRAWERS a chester drawers. I remember feeling such embarrassment when I realized my mistake.
"Satying" should be "Staying."

Ahh, me! "The boys are very excepting..." means that the boys leave her out, which seems to be the opposite of what the article says. The boys are very accepting. If they make her "feel apart," that means they make her feel separate. Surely, the intended meaning is that they make her feel a part. These errors are the fault of the writer, not the speaker.
