“My name is Anthony Bergeron. You killed my name. Prepare to die!” (Shelli Trumbull photo)
There are days when I think they are doing it on purpose.
Is it even humanly possible for journalists to misspell so many names from the same school for such an extended period of time without having some kind of ulterior motive? Does the Everett Herald harbor a grudge against Coupeville High School?
Perhaps the Herald writers are still stinging from the incident at the start of fall, when Wolf Nation rose up and torpedoed their football fan poll, outvoting the fat cats at ATM and King’s and giving Coupeville the preseason crown.
Maybe it was when we buried them under emails reminding them “He’s not stumblin’, he’s rumblin’, he’s Jake Tumblin!!”
Or maybe they just can’t spell.
Because, continuing a tradition fine-tuned during the heyday of Taya Boonstra (forever immortalized as Taya Boonscara by Herald writers), they are back at it, massacring Coupeville names like the Huns rolling over Europe, just with a lot less finesse.
Wednesday night presented them with a rare opportunity to misspell four Wolf names, as Drew Chan became Chanv, Aaron Curtin became Curtain and Ben Etzell became Ezzel. Which was a nice start.
The topper though, the one that makes no sense whatsoever (the first three are reasonably close), is when they turned Anthony Bergeron into Anthony Bucchoson.
What?!?!
You got the B at the start and the N at the end right, and then you had a stroke on us, it appears.
I was going to alert the Washington Newspapers Publishers Association. Maybe I should just call 9-1-1 instead.
