NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!
I let this pass a few weeks ago when I saw the same mistake in amNew York -- the newspaperette for New York commuters; USA Today for the ADD crowd; the... ah, you get the picture -- but I figured that amNew York was so insignificant that it wasn't worth my time.

The Associated Press, on the other hand...

"Man arrested in grizzly killing of Bronx girlfriend who rejected him"

No! Let's do this all together, kids. First, let's define 'grizzly':

Webster's 1913 Dictionary
Definition: \Griz"zly\, a.
1. Somewhat gray; grizzled.
2. {Grizzly bear} (Zo["o]l.), a large and ferocious bear ({Ursus
horribilis}) of Western North America and the Rocky
Mountains. It is remarkable for the great length of its
claws.

Now let's define 'grisly':

Webster's 1913 Dictionary
Definition: \Gris"ly\, a. Frightful; horrible; dreadful; harsh; as, grisly locks; a
grisly specter.

There is a difference. A huge difference. And a reporter should know that. Unless that poor woman was killed a la Timothy Treadwell, this is inexcusable.

Okay. Your English lesson is over for the day.
