MILWAUKEE (AP) — Journal Sentinel Inc., publisher of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, said Wednesday it will cut about 10 percent of its 1,300 full-time employees due to continued industrywide declines in advertising sales.

Journal Sentinel, a unit of newspaper publisher and broadcaster Journal Communications Inc., said the layoffs will be complete by the end of the year. Employees departing voluntarily and as the result of targeted cuts will receive both cash severance and health care benefits.

Maybe I'm blind, but I don't see what you're talking about. All of them are spelled the exact same way you have it.

I agree though. I hate it when people spell things incorrectly. Or if they don't use anything they were ever taught in English class.

Thanks. Again, I'm not picky but for some reason words spelled wrong are like fingernails on a chalkboard for me.

I don't mean to be the word police, but please spell Sentinel correctly in your headline.
