Hoity-Toity Talk

Sub-Headline in the copy of The New York Times I purchased at the 38 Store this Sunday:
A No-Flight Zone is Imposed to Bolster Libya's Rebels
No "Flight" Zone?

I guess it is only the low brows and the likes of Fox News that use "No Fly" Zone.

Well, and Reporter David Gregory at NBC's "Meet the Press" and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen.

At least The New York Times still capitalizes words in headlines, unlike Little Sister, The Boston Globe.

UPDATE:  I just went to the on-line version of The New York Times and they have "fled" from "flight" to "fly".  Even the scanned front page has been updated.  One wonders about the cause of this metamorphosis.
