Is it really necessary to type in all caps? It's so hard to read. I would expect more from a news site.

Once again, the EDITOR'S FAILED!!! Come on WTAJ, I know BELLWOOD is a small town just north of Altoona, but could you atleast spell the name of the town correctly?? It wasn't even a one time occurance...The headline has the name wrong, and twice in the story!!
