My employer, Rex Hammock, frequently castigates reporters and editors who publicly demonstrate their utter lack of math skills or understanding of statistics. Rex missed this one - The San Francisco Examiner recently reported the average tourist to the City by the Bay spends $23.33 per day. Here's the link to the original story, as well.
I know the recession has created lots of travel bargains, but any resident of SanFran should have said "huh?" in writing or editing that piece.
And just to be mean, The Snitch story couldn't keep straight what the Examiner typo was - note the discrepancy between the figures in the first and last paragraph.
