Reporters: When you're doing spellcheck, make sure to keep an eye on what you're correcting.
The first thing that jumped out at me in a Brian Reisinger story today when it moved to the Night Desk was that his byline read "By Brian Resigned."
As he was out on break when I caught this, there was some question about whether we knew for sure if he was coming back.
