Worcesterites Can't Count?

I'm not sure when exactly when a child learns to count to 10, but I would say that it usually takes place around 14 to 16 months. Well, it seems as if the good folks at the Telegram & Gazette can't seem to get their numbers straight or at least transcribe them properly for the next day's local newspaper.

We know it's one thing to do it once, but it happened for a second time, this time for the BIG one....the municipal elections. When it happened after the preliminary elections, held September 11th, we brushed it off and said, mistakes happen. When it took place again after the municipal elections, held on November 6th, I scratched my head in amazement and wondered out loud, "What is going on?"

We hope that the Telegram & Gazette's inability to count or print the final numbers doesn't spread rampant throughout the City? Let's all say a few prayers......because prayer does help.
