Being useless at English myself, I will be the last one to criticize other people’s mistakes. I just find weird that, in the middle of the rush to get the news out, many people killed Obama instead of Osama tonight.

From MSNBC’s correspondant Norah O’Donnell—who tweeted “Obama shot and killed” citing NBC Chief Pentagon Correspondent Jim Miklaszewski as the source—to the BBC News site. And of course, Fox News. That may have been a Freudian slip and not a typo, though.
