Source:  The Pratt Tribune in Pratt, Kansas suffered a humiliating typo in the print edition of their October 28 newspaper.

Someone took a photograph of the small-town newspaper and shared it on Twitter where it quickly went viral.

A short fluff piece written by Gale Rose was missing an important hyphen in the headline. The error was corrected in the newspaper’s digital version of the article, but the physical copies were a total loss.

While the headline writer learned a “first-hand” lesson in editing, everyone else had a great laugh.

Twitter was filled with fantastic sexual innuendos in response to the headline.

I’m guessing the hyphen shoulda gone between first and hand.

I love the progressive degeneration of grammar and the English language.  That’s why anyone can be a media source and why real old school media outlets are dying.  We can misspell the shit out of things, and it’s funny.  The Pratt Tribune Misspells something, and they look like a bunch of amateurs.

Ain’t like grand.
