Reuters typo tells us “Queen Elizabeth has 10 times the lifespan of workers and lays up to 2,000 eggs a day”
It’s no beef panties, but it’s amusing nonetheless. A Reuters story from today appears to have fallen victim to an overzealous spellchecker, resulting in an enjoyable typo. Or someone over there hates the British monarchy. The story, about honey bees, is currently online and uncorrected here. UPDATE: The story has been corrected on the wire and that link no longer works. Also, the New Zealand Herald picked up this story and noted a previous error on its website, “Some years ago, a story on the Herald.co.nz website had the same mishap, resulting in references to Saddam Hussain being changed to Saddam’s Hussies.”
