It’s one of the most dreaded moments on live TV, when a spelling error makes it on the air. KABC in Los Angeles really had a good one last night. While showing Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez on its 11 p.m. newscast, “Adrian Gonzalez” somehow came out as “Adroam Gpmza;ez.”

Well, that was certainly interesting. KABC has to have some better quality control, but with an “ABC7Error” account, it appears that this is a regular occurrence.
