I had a friend who said that there are those who will read for content and then there are those who will read to find errors. Thank goodness for both, I guess!
The "volunteer copy editor" that missed the misspelling of Iowa superstar basketball player Caitlin Clark was me. The Secretary of Education's flub—"A1" for "AI"— was a spoken gaffe, not a mere typo. I'm reminded of Lawrence Welk's famous gaffes, introducing the musical number "Take the A Train," as "Take a Train."

That’s good!
Apparently, I’ve also been sleep writing after 3am for a long time now. I’m so grateful for your honesty and the laughter you give us all!
Shit happens, Julee! John
