This came across MRP’s desk this week. The subject of the piece was radio broadcasting and this was the headline:
“Keeping the Airways Open”
It took me a minute to figure out what was wrong with it, but here’s the deal. This would be a headline for a story about, say, tracheotomies or the Heimlich manuever, but in a story about radios, the preferred term would be airwaves.

LOL Keeping airways open is important, too, y’know.
