A nice avenue to air our laughter, amusement and yes, corrections galore. Its nice that Newseum compiled these somewhat “hilarious” corrections.

Joshua: The innocent interpretation becomes clear on learning The Oxford Mail headline was a typo. It was supposed to read “Churchill in Bed With Cold.”

Sterling: What was the “innocent” interpretation of the Oxford Mail headline?

One of my favourite — completely accurate — headlines, was in a local paper in Devon, circa 1978, on a story about a man caught stealing from a butchers shop:

Bulge in
trousers
was pound
of sausages,
court told

Correction on my earlier post: I think the “Churchill coed” headline was in the Oxford Mail–not Oxford Gazette.

I attended college in England and recall this headline in, I believe, the Oxford Gazette: “Churchill in Bed With Coed”. I don’t think it brought snickers to Brit readers since “coed” was not in their slang vocabulary–at least in the early 1950s.

My favorite headline back in my weekly newspaper editing days was “Prominent Waterville (Maine) doctor dies at 69.”

I clipped it out and pasted it up in the production room with a note: What a way to go!

Yes, that’s my Canadian educational background coming through. We love our “u”s and “re”s. Do me a favour and count me amoung the forgiven.

In this country, “theater” is not spelled “theatre.” “Theatre” is spelled that way in England and in The New Yorker.
