Oops *** What's our name again?

We had a girl, instead of writing President Bush's, wrote President's Bush. That's all I've got.

 

Another year, the WaPo ran a correction after misspelling the name of the Spelling Bee winner. I used that as my sig for a few weeks. Around that same time, the NYT had to run a correction after it misidentified a handful of flyover states in a map graphic.

 

Didn't know spnited did graphic ID's...

 

I have an older friend in this biz who claims he once read a Pa. paper with the headline ``Governor's Pen is Busy'' but there was no space between ``Pen'' and ``is''.

I also just spell-checked the graf above.

 

Look! The News' snoozin' has gone international: http://forextimes.ru/news/hnews183310.htm

 

I wish my article a week ago had an extra s on the end of a couple of words.
Instead of assess the situation, the word was asses... twice.

 

At a former paper of mine, we had an obit about a very nice woman who died at the age of 103. So the headline was supposed to say, "Genteel woman dies at 103." Instead, it was "Gentile woman dies at 103."

In our defense, technically, she was a Gentile.

 

A few months back an obit in my rag said a guy was from Jew Jersey.

 

Some of my favorites through the years:

A paper left the L off the word public, so the headline read something like Pubic meeting set for Thursday.

There was also a paper that wrote a headline for a new manager: Morgan gets head job

 

I once misspelled the word misspelled in a correction, but fortunately someone else caught it.

 

What's not mentioned, of course, is the next outing has been moved to your house.

 

For 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' fans:

"Beloved -unt," except the A was replaced with a C.
