They can't spell! This is a bullet point in their Ukraine story from this morning:
Ukraine claims its retaken more territory in southern Kherson region
I do try to be forgiving where grammar is concerned, but JFC, CNN!

(114,386 posts)9. Years ago, the "news" director at one of our local propaganda outfits told me,
after finally responding to multiple emails and messages about endless mistakes, that his staff was simply "too busy" to worry about such unimportant matters. And this was after telling me that I should not expect correct English, because they were, after all, journalism majors, not English. In reasonably correct English, German, Latin and Hungarian, I told him exactly what I thought of him and his staff.
Sounds like they were absolutely in the wrong business (in more ways than one).
