The meaning of each word is distinct from the other; apprise means to tell, and appraise means to set a value on.
How did she get a job at CNN? Why didnt someone correct her?
😠

She repeatedly used the wrong word over and over. Don't they have a f'ing copy editor?!!!! What the hell! It's CNN. Aren't they supposed to be professionals? My god! How our standards have fallen. You can't even find an article that answers the five W's of journalism anymore: Who, What, When, Where, and Why.

after autographing them with a Sharpie.
Then he'd put the Sharpie up for sale.
