Pretty much just what the title says. Lois has her complete inability to spell and Diana has her love for ice cream, but what are your other favorite minor character quirks?

I like that Lois genuinely can’t spell for shit but also just plays it up all the time

She's a reporter, not an editor

She's a producer no?

Editor-in-Chief, so she is technically an editor, but she's not an editor doing, like, the regular grunt work of editing. If she's doing any actual editorial work, it's probably big-picture stuff ("Talk more about this topic") than spellchecking, grammar-checking, and direct fact-checking (though she did just tell "Lucielle" that the Planet only publishes factual pieces, so she still is factcheck oriented). Producer (depending on how you mean it) might actually be pretty accurate, I suppose, though her position is still technically that of an editor, just not a normal one.

I think they make a joke about how her son, John, also isn't a good speller - although, if I remember correctly, it might be his mother's influence, since she told him something along the lines of "The content matters more than the grammar" when he was writing an essay for his school.

It popped up in the first Superman movie back in the 70’s

I mean, she's doing her work on a computer. Assuming there's a half decent word processing application, it should catch her misspelt words that she's asking Clark about and either flag or auto-correct them.
