Thanks guys. Remember, the editors comment was “It’s NOT misspelled. It’s a typo”. My feeling is: Typo or not, misspelled is misspelled. It doesn’t matter how you got there. To me, it felt like he was saying “I don’t make mistakes”. If this piece had gone to replication and then distribution (don’t you watch Headlines on Leno on Monday night?), how would the client have felt about the phrase “It’s not misspelled. It’s a typo?”
It wouldn’t have been “Fired”. It would have been “Fried”.
I’m sure that all of us have probably made a couple thousand posts here on the Cow and how many times have we had to follow a post with another post correcting misspelled words because one letter can change the entire meaning of what we’re saying. I’ll bet Ron put the edit feature in so that we could take back the nasty things we say (except Zelin) and correct our TYPOS so we don’t look like we ain’t edumacated.
