About that typo

Nov 8, 2021

Let’s get this out of the way. There was a typo in yesterdays’ email subject. No, the irony of a post about language with a typo in its subject line isn’t lost on me.

It’s not that I missed the hyphen in the NASA Mariner 1 rocket guide program, causing a crash that would’ve cost $ 158 million if it happened yesterday.

Nor that I wrote “Thou shalt commit adultery” and “God’s great-asse” in an edition of the Bible.

But I nonetheless appreciate you for being so cool and letting it slide!
