AP repeats itself, misspells "Goth"

[asterroc]

A CNN.com article that quotes extensively from the AP is ... well ... not up to par. It's about the kid accused of killing Vitale, wife of a famous lawyer, and how he's "Gothic" and "drew a pentagram on the ground at school," as well as being "Gothic" and "drawing a pentagram on the ground with chalk."

People, Gothic is a style of architecture. Goth is a style of life.

The misspellings were mainly in quotes, and "Goth" originated as a shortening of Gothic Rock/Pun. So... ok.

I'm kind of pissed, though, about the fact that every time a Goth kid kills someone, everybody thinks that Goth made them do it. Meh.
