Pooby BS: The worst typo I've ever seen (72* d) RE: BS: The worst typo I've ever seen 06 Nov 02


When I'm not Pooby the folkie, I'm a full-time newspaper editor, so I've seen bushels of typos (probably more than a few that I'm personally to blame for).

A couple paragraphs into the story (but still on Page 1) the reporter was describing Tricia's attire, but a few words or so got left out. The sentence ended up reading: "The bride's gown was decorated with white Cox...."
