Ooops! We did it again!

Well last week I definitely proved that I am human. If you missed it, we had a typographical error on our front page, in the lead story, no less.
Instead of "Public input sought..." it read "Pubic input sought..."

In order to provide you, the readers with the most current news possible, we bend the rules a bit every month when there is a council meeting.
Normally our deadline is Friday at Noon and if something happens on the weekend I try and get it taken care of Monday morning.
However, council meetings are in the evening of our busiest day of our week; Monday.
So I leave space for the council news so that on Tuesday morning you will get the news while it is still fresh; not eight days old as it would be if left for the next week's paper.
In order to do this sacrifices are made. In addition to me working late, there is no one to proof read the council news.
Last week I reread the story, three times, looking for errors. I also rewrote the headline three times. I am not sure if I made the typo all three times or if I just missed an 'l" the last time.
In my mind I read it correctly... as "public" and so did many of you. For many people it took someone else to point it out. It is strange how our minds work.
I was not made aware of the error until after I had done the last deliveries of the paper in town.
On Thursday I was driving to Fort Frances and heard a radio announcer make a similar error with the words "breath" and "breast". However, in the radio business they get to correct themselves right away. In my business I had to wait an entire week to correct the error in the printed version.
We posted the correct headline on our website right from the get go.
Oh well, lots of people had fun teasing me and some even said they are sending it to Leno.
This wasn't the first time we have made an error and it definitely won't be the last.
One time we made a typo about Howard Hampton, MPP, speaking to the Deaf Person's Society of Ontario. When he was done, "500 dead people stood up and applauded."
Oops we did it again!
–Until then,
Ken
