Alert

If you're talking about electricity, there's no "e" in "lightning." The lazy editorial staff here creates typos a-plenty, but we have to note a weird increase in the frequency of this particular error. Spotted twice today, once in a Slate roundup of the news (go to the paragraph on shark attacks) and again in this Metafilter post. We're not trying to be Mr. Orthography-pants or anything, mind you. We just don't want our silence to indicate approval.
