Spell Check

Nice work, NBC Action News. Or was it AP? "Who's" fault was it?:

Woman who's car went into river dies


Last Update: 11:56 am
ST. LOUIS (AP) - A woman's whose vehicle went into the Meramec River has died, a day after her grandson also died.

Sandra Branham, 63, of Crestwood, died Saturday at St. John's Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported on its Web site.

And so on...

Who's vs. Whose
Don't we learn the different in elementary school?

You'd think the headline writer could get it right since it's correct in the first sentence of the article. Guess NOT!
