Embarrassing Corrections in Print/Text

       Richard Lederer's The Revenge of Anguished English has a chapter on corrections of mistakes in print where the mistakes were quite laughable.  Here are a few:


       It was incorrectly reported last Friday that today is T-shirt Appreciation Day.  In fact, it is actually Teacher Appreciation Day.

       Our article about Jewish burial customs contained an error:  mourner's clothing is rent--that is, torn, not rented.

       Apology:  I originally wrote, "Woodrow Wilson's wife grazed sheep on the front lawn of the White House."  I'm sorry that typesetting inadvertently left out the word sheep.


       Ah, typesetting, those were the days.  But, fortunately for the funny bone, mistakes are still made.
