I thought you guys might get a kick out of this one ... my markup/emphasis (and blurring of the advertising):

I don't think the use of one word for sail boat was the issue Marke14 was pointing out.

I was referring to proofreading the caption so it matched the photo. :) That's the editor's job.

Yes, and the picture is of a powerboat, not a sailboat, regardless of how many words were used. That is the failure, IMO.

I wouldn't want someone to steal that sailboat, of it were mine; it looks fast.

Maybe the copy editor went to pubic school.
