The kid flipped on the TV this afternoon, and the local news was airing on the channel the TV was tuned to. Never one to miss weather coverage (flood warnings! thunderstorms! hail!) and miscellaneous vehicular mayhem (a car under a truck, driver unhurt! driver ticketed for not staying in her own lane), he didn't mind watching a few minutes of the newscast.
The business update began, and the reporter was talking about Toyotas. At the bottom of the screen, however, the closed captioning read TOY OATAS.
"Hey, they made a mistake. They put a space in there," he remarked.
I'm so proud. (By second grade, I expect him to be catching the multiple errors.)

- I'm an all-purpose word geek: I write (blogs, plus a book), I edit (medical stuff), I read (mostly blogs and magazines...that stack of unread books glares at me from beneath the dust), and I play with words (crossword puzzles are a strong favorite).
