APR 30, 2009 - Typographical Error

A student found this typo in our history book.

  1. You have good eyes, I never spot things like this (probably cause I can't spell LOL)

  2. Great catch. You notice how we just read right through things without noticing the spelling.

  3. Good catch by your student! I like the way you used depth of field to further focus on the area of importance in your shot.

    I was picking my son up for an appointment today and hanging on the office door was a School Board poster advertising a summer session for middle-school students in which the word 'programs' was printed as 'pograms'. I never understand how printed material with errors like this gets through without editing...

  4. Good catch, student! Did s/he get some extra credit? :-) At least it didn't say "philospoopy"... :-D

  5. Good pick up!

    Earlier this year, my daughter got a certificate for her scores on one of the state standardized tests--and then got a NEW one because on of the words was spelled wrong on the original!
