Former President Jimmy Carter on Saturday turned to his wife Rosalynn and thanked her for 75 years of marriage, telling her that she’s always been right for him.

Those who attended Saturday’s celebration included former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, along with U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Country music stars Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks; and media businessman Ted Turner also attended, the Carter Center said in a statement.

4. LOL

8. Copy editors were all let go...

... to save money. Poor writers are stuck living with their typos now. It’s horrible. So glad I left journalism.

2. Editing and editors have gone the way of the dodo, it seems. Soon we will have writers

whose training is limited to 140 characters on twitter. Sigh...

6. They are self-styling themselves as "citizen journalists" but don't have journalistic standards. .nt

9. My gmail does a better job

at proofreading my emails. This is the second such observation I've seen in the last fifteen minutes about a news article.

10. Also, this, from the article.

She [Rosalynn] added that she used to urge her mother to tell suiters calling for her on the phone that she wasn’t around.

jeez

Apparently 'suiter' is a word, though ...

suiter n. (card games, in combination) Something having a certain number of suits.

suiter n. (luggage, in combination) Something that can hold a certain number of suits. (--like a two-suiter)

Suiter prop.n. A surname.
