I Know I Make Typos -

But I hope that none are as egregious as this one in the dead trees version of the local rag, the Saskatoon StarPhoenix. In a story about the New Orleans Saints defeat of the Philadelphia Eagles, the copy was supposed to read (as nearly as I can figure) "With victory secured for the Saints (11-6) on McAllister's powerful kick, team owner Tom Benson did his 'Benson Boogie' on the field." What was on the printed page was, "With victory secured for the Saints (11-6) on McAllister's powerfu ck, team owner Tom Benson did his 'Benson Boogie' on the field."

Knowing the local paper as well as I do, no one will be fired or reprimanded, but people will notice.
