Amazingly, our friends at the Seymour Tribune again (!) used exceedingly poor judgement in writing the headline of the latest story in the Uniontown adult business saga. It'd be one thing if the acronym was also used in the story ... but it wasn't. Just because the acronym of "sexually oriented business" is technically correct ... oh, never mind. (Here's where I wrote about it the first time they used it.)

Also on the local journalism front: I'll tell you what got my goat when I was younger: calling things that aren't points "points." For instance, Phil Mickelson did not win the Masters by 2 points on Sunday. St. Louis did not score 3 points in the 9th to win their baseball game. And so on and so forth.
These are generally accepted rules of sportswriting, as well as sports fandom. The Bedford Times-Mail says, "Poop on your generally accepted rules!"

Please note: My policy at Bramble Tamble is to not use real names for private citizens. I hope you will adhere to this policy; hell, it's my only rule here. (But you can use your own real name if you'd like. Cause I'm magnanimous like that.)
