Trump reportedly held call with bank CEOs as the stock market plunged
- bediger4000 7y agoCaption on photo of Trump on the phone: "President Trump talks with on the phone in the Oval Office." "talks with on the phone"? This is a type of typo we haven't seen much in the past. It's clearly a problem were the spell-checker did not put a wiggly red line under anything, so MSNBC just pasted it in. Semantically, it's an error. "talks with" who? Spellcheck is great, don't get me wrong, but grammar checkers just aren't up to even "lazy human copy editor" standards.
- fred_is_fred 7y agoI look at this more like an undeclared variable in a bash script. They probably use that photo and caption about 1000 times a year and forgot to set CALLEE="Bank CEOs". "President Trump talks with ${CALLEE} on the phone in the Oval Office."
