Attack of the spellchecker

The New Scientist magazine’s Feedback column spotted an interesting correction in another publication:

DO WE detect the hand of the mischievous spellchecker in the following apologetic note from the April issue of Contemporary Sociology?
"In the January issue… in the review written by Elizabeth Gorman of The Work and Family Handbook: Multi-disciplinary perspectives and approaches
, edited by Marcie Pitt-Catsouphes, Ellen Ernst Kossek and Stephen
Sweet, the contributors’ last names should have been spelled ‘Karen
Gareis’ instead of ‘Karen Agrees’, ‘Laura Beavais’ instead of ‘Laura
Beavers’, and ‘Gerstel and Sarkisian’, not ‘Gretel and Sardinian’. We regret the errors." Link (to New Scientist)
