FOX has trouble with font sizes

While traditionally outside the scope of our primary interests, we think it’s reasonable to mention when news organizations, blogs, or FOXNews.com makes other typographical errors. FOXNews.com recently reported on the First Couple and had several different typeface sizes for different sentences, even within the same sentence. It was unclear if it was intended to add emphasis. Major WebKit-based (Apple Safari, Google Chrome) and Gecko-based (Firefox, Camino) browsers both showed these formatting issues.

AppleInsider cites wrong number

AppleInsider reported on next-generation Intel chips in future Apple computer hardware. In the article, they meant to refer to the 32 nm fabrication process and not a 3 nm process.

With respect to units on numbers, this site prefers a space separating the number and the unit of measure, such as “32 nm.” AI and many others choose to omit this space.

While AppleInsider is not even a Top 5,000 site on the Internet, according to Alexa.com, it enjoys a 2,000-level spot within the United States. In truth they amount more to a blog than they do an actual news organization, but the quality of their content is among the best in that class of information.

CNN forgets period

CNN reported on the Special Senate Election in Massachusetts. In the article, they forgot a period at the end of a sentence.
