Mistakes do indeed happen, and here are our flubs from this week. Thanks go out to Richard, Laughlin, Joseph, Patrick, Rod, Alexandra and Antonia for picking up the slack.
The Crunks:
- Our November 19 edition of "We Crunked" misspelled the word "misspelled." It has been corrected. We regret the error, but love the irony. Some readers also pointed out that "samaritan" should be capitalized. Unfortunately, our blog software wouldn’t let us capitalize it in the headline so we had to leave it cap-less throughout.
- Our November 19 post, "The skinny on Brokaw," contained an error in this sentence: "How does one go about getting a correction on skinny dipping?" The word "dipping" was misspelled as "sipping." It has been corrected. We regret the error.
- Our November 19 post, "Another drunken error," contained an error in this sentence: "…then a bunch of prosecutors are accused of abusing an open bar (it was a cash bar)." It originally read, "…an open a bar." The "a" has been deleted. We regret the error.
- Our November 22 post, "Clear Channel blasts Rolling Stone," contained an error in this sentence: "One would have expected them to at least print an edited version with a response from the writer." The word "from" was originally published as "form." It has been corrected. We regret the error.
- Our November 24 post, "PR not immune to mistakes," contained an error in this sentence: "We give newspapers a lot of grief for their errors, but there is a whole other stream of daily corrections that we haven’t yet given a working over: press releases." The word "their" was originally spelled "theirs." It has been corrected. We regret the error.
- Our November 25 post, "Another National Post columnist in hot water; Free Press columnist resigns," contained a significant error. The original post repeated the untrue and scurrilous allegation made by The National Post’s Gillian Cosgrove. It’s untrue and hurtful and shouldn’t have been repeated. We regret the error.
