TLC: LEARNING OPTIONAL

A thread on IFHY shows how far the cable-network spellcheckers have fallen.

Last week a poster on IFHY wrote to TLC, the cable network, and pointed out a font error:
YOUR WATCHING LA INK
(CHATTER readers, being a brilliant bunch, know that "your" should have been "you're.")

TLC -- it's supposed to stand for The Learning Channel -- wrote back and said so sorry, we'll alert programming. And they must have, because this week's chyron read:
YOUR WATCHING THE NEW HIT SERIES LA INK
We are all doomed.
