why proofreading matters
Auto-correct. It was my friend back in college when I was writing research papers. But apparently it’s no friend to the American Family Association. Seems that they use auto-correct on Associated Press articles in order to replace words that they deem unacceptable. For instance, they replace the word “gay” with the word “homosexual.” Why? I guess because they’re afraid of homosexuals being associated with being happy.
Of course, the word “gay” has more than one meaning. Which led to this.
