Show me.... a typo!

I'm often critical of the media because of their poorly-researched and hastily-written "articles" that push for tort reform.  But this one, from a Missouri newspaper, takes the cake.  The headline includes the phrase "workermen's compensation."  There's no such thing as "workermen's compensation." It also talks about capping "non-monetary" awards.  Last I checked, all juries awarded was money. 

The real point of the post isn't to make fun of poor editing, but to point out that the "Show Me" state is pushing for tort reform.
