a typo citing the Lyndon B Johnson School of 'Pubic' Affairs. Even the best writers, reporters and editors fall prey to the occasional typo. And it's probably bad karma to revel in someone else's unintentional mistake. But media critic Jim Romenesko reports that the LBJ school issued an apology via Twitter, reading, "Our deepest apologies to our 2012 graduates for the egregious typo in our program. Susan Binford, assistant dean for communications at the Lyndon B Johnson School of Public Affairs, tells Romenesko that students will be issued new copies of the commencement program.
Still, it's interesting how much fuss the omission of one letter can lead to. No one was killed, no one lost their job and any concerned parties can rest assured that they will have a corrected commencement program to reflect upon in the future. But it's not going to stop the critics of the world from expressing their outrage at the fallibility of others. Though for most of us, it will probably be remembered with little more than a quick laugh.

Wyvern 20 hrs ago That thing could have been proofread by 10 different people and they all still would have missed something. Especially when people lag in getting you the information to put into the printed piece and then want it yesterday, AND THEN complain when they find an error in it after they have proofread it themselves!
ray 20 hrs ago My boss keeps telling me that Word's spellchecker catchs ALL mistakes. I would have to fight to hold back my laughter if she made the same type of mistake in one of her reports to the corporate office...
Carol o 17 hrs ago This is why Spell-Check will never replace live proofreaders. User 14 hrs ago Unfortunately, it has for the most part- or is this your first visit to Yahoo?
Milwaukee, Wisconsin o 23 hrs ago I used to work for my town's library, which had the town name and "Public Library" in iron letters on the wall outside. People were constantly stealing the L from the word "Public".
Holland, Michigan o 22 hrs ago Is this a story about a typo from the same people who had the teaser "Gee Gees founder Robin Gibb dead" on their front page for 12 hours?
allen o 23 hrs ago These are the sorts of errors you get when you count on your word processor's spell-check to fix everything so you don't have to think about what you are writing.
Marcus o 18 hrs ago I spent 35 years in the printing industry, and if I had even a dime for each "embarassing" typo I saw in that time I would be a wealthy man.
Orlando, Florida o 23 hrs ago This is what happens when you let the computer do the corrections, I'm shocked at how many newspaper articles are screwed up by "typos".
