I think it was intentional...
The first para:
You hear of caladiums being snatched from the soil in Silver Spring and junipers getting hijacked from a Beltsville nursery; you check out the crime report in Fairfax County and, just about every week this spring, you read where some dirtbag has purloined plants or lifted leafy things.
Plantnapping -- it's a dirty business.
Joel Curtin knows. They stole his strawberries, his jade, his aloe. They even copped his crown of thorns and it wasn't even healthy. They waltzed right up the concrete steps of his storybook house -- white with green trim -- in Brookland a few nights ago and ripped off a dozen or so plants worth more than $250.
What really hurt: They lifted a large terra cotta pot full of mint. It was the mint he popped in his bourbon after a long day of helping lawyers solve tech problems. It was the mint he shared with his girlfriend, Hun Quach, after her long days as a legislative aide on Capitol Hill.
The home page of washingtonpost.com today has this as the title of one
of the articles in the paper:
• Theives Just Uproot and Leave
In the article itself the word is spelled correctly. I can't believe
this got past the editor(s)! That's just sloppy.
