[Guest post by Jack Dunphy]
It’s good to know that even in times of natural disaster, those vaunted, ever-alert editors we’re always being lectured about are on duty at the Times. See headline in below screen shot.

Dustin (b54cdc) — 2/6/2010 @ 1:38 pmAnd if you run your cursor over the photo, the little label also says “mudlside.”
Official Internet Data Office (dc2fe1) — 2/6/2010 @ 1:42 pmI like that James Taylor album Mudlside Slim. Don’t these guys have spellcheckers ?
Mike K (2cf494) — 2/6/2010 @ 1:45 pmLayers.
Mitch (e40959) — 2/6/2010 @ 1:55 pmThree of the four layers of editors are out of the office for the weekend.
Bradley J. Fikes, C. O.R. (a18ddc) — 2/6/2010 @ 1:57 pm@ #5:
I assume that means that only the layees are left minding the shop? š
Captain Ned (28c191) — 2/6/2010 @ 1:59 pmRe comment no. 2 above, “mudlside” is the name I gave the file when I saved it.
Jack Dunphy (38fbdf) — 2/6/2010 @ 2:01 pmFour layers of mud.
Official Internet Data Office (dc2fe1) — 2/6/2010 @ 2:01 pmThat’s one way to get your property taxes reassessed.
happyfeet (713679) — 2/6/2010 @ 2:04 pmThey’re quite edumacated!
Dmac (539341) — 2/6/2010 @ 2:26 pmMudl, sonw, whatever.

Vivian Louise (643333) — 2/6/2010 @ 2:52 pmāmudlsideā is the name I gave the file when I saved it.
That’s OK. Fake but accurate!
Official Internet Data Office (dc2fe1) — 2/6/2010 @ 3:09 pmdon’t worry! both the residents and the Slimes will mudl through somehow…..
redc1c4 (fb8750) — 2/6/2010 @ 3:20 pmIs this like left-bloggers using the name “Godlstein” so you-know-who won’t ego-google it?
LYT (6e6e44) — 2/6/2010 @ 3:46 pmWe prefer He-who-must-not-be-named.
Bradley J. Fikes, C. O.R. (a18ddc) — 2/6/2010 @ 3:54 pmGive ’em a break. It’s not like their job has a future or anything.
plep (6d0c48) — 2/6/2010 @ 4:23 pmAll the laid off copyeditors are chuckling into their beer.
Patricia (e1047e) — 2/6/2010 @ 4:43 pmYou have the clean side of the house, then you have the mudlside.
What’s the big deal?
papertiger (31efee) — 2/6/2010 @ 8:05 pmThe misspelling is still there! (as of 8:07 p.m.)
Bradley J. Fikes, C. O.R. (a18ddc) — 2/6/2010 @ 8:08 pmbwahahahahaha
Dustin (b54cdc) — 2/6/2010 @ 8:09 pmMudst bee reining catz adn dogz their.
Editor@Grey Lady (79d71d) — 2/6/2010 @ 8:35 pmI predict some supervising editor somewhere is going to go bel//// balliz//// balist/// all crazy over this.
IgotBupkis (79d71d) — 2/6/2010 @ 8:38 pmThe LA Times editors don’t care about such trifling errors. It’s only the Internet, and Real JournalistsĀ® know only print can be trusted.
Bradley J. Fikes, C. O.R. (a18ddc) — 2/6/2010 @ 9:10 pmStill there at 9:15 PM PST, too.
DRJ (84a0c3) — 2/6/2010 @ 9:16 pmWhatever word processing and page layout software the Times is using, they need to update their automatic spell-check program (spell-check does make editors lazy, because you won’t get the red line below an incorrect word if you transpose or type in incorrect letters that create another word, but I’m pretty sure mudlside hasn’t become part of the American English lexicon as of yet).
John (d4490d) — 2/7/2010 @ 8:28 amThe LAT needs to update their reporters and editors. And “mudlside” is still there!
