IDK WTF I read the Huffington Post.  I guess it is because I have unfettered access to the internet and a less than full task basket at work.  I do derive some pleasure in finding typographical, grammatical, and usage errors by professional writers, but this goes beyond the pale.

In a story about The Shroud of Turin, what may have been the cloth in which Jesus of Nazareth was laid to rest after being crucified, the Huffington Post had this to say:

Shroud Of Turin, Jesus' Proposed Burial Cloth, Is Authentic, Italian Study Suggests

Proposed is supposed to be used as the past participle of the verb propose, which means: to intend; suggest a plan of action; or, to seek partnership in marriage.  None of these definitions fits in this situation.

I propose to replace the word "Proposed" with "purported" (as an adjective).  I also propose that Ileana Llorens and the entire staff at the Huffington Post do some proof reading!  Seriously!

I mean, the only reason I looked at this story at all was because the author screwed up.  Here's a link to the story.
