Simon Bredin was the Spring 2015 chief copy editor of the RRJ. Friday Funny: ”We regret the hilarious error”
We know we should feel bad for the USA Today copy editor responsible for this headline, but the schadenfreude is too strong.
(via Reddit)
A typo with the word “typo” in it is right up there with that time the Toronto Sun misspelled “correction”…in a correction.
The New York Times takes its corrections seriously: earlier this week, it corrected an error that appeared in the paper in 1877. This easily tops its 2008 correction of a 1960 review ofWest Side Story.
But correcting an error once doesn’t guarantee that it won’t happen again. In 2011, the Times referred to Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny as a woman. In an obituary of Seamus Heaney this year, it made the same mistake.
For the record, Mr. Kenny’s first name is not Edna.
Remember to follow the Review and its masthead on Twitter.
