Here's me being anal again 
It seems like BoingBoing misspelled the name of another Kentucky city not too long ago, but I can't remember which. Either way, it's annoying. I mean, the correct spelling is right there, in both articles.
I don't think they are maliciously trying to make Kentucky seem unimportant by misspelling the names of its cities...but that's the result. It just seems like they don't think Kentucky is worthy of spell-checking. "Oh, well, no one knows where Moorhead is, anyway..."
[Update 4:37 pm: Hey! They fixed it! At approximately 2:16 pm, it would seem. Yay!]
