Misspelled more than 100 times

Posted on June 4, 2009, 8:00 am, by Craig Silverman, under Newspapers.

nytbanner1A report by The Associated Press in the National Briefing column on Jan. 6 about the resignation of Meg Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay, from three corporate boards misspelled part of the name of one of the companies. It is Procter & Gamble, not Proctor & Gamble. A reader pointed out the error in an e-mail message on Monday, and also correctly noted that The Times has misspelled the name more than 100 times. (This is the second correction.) Link

    Wow, a big name Magazine having an easy error like that? That is costly mistake, to say it has been misspelled a 100 times.

    A quick Google search shows that the WSJ has gotten this spelling wrong several times in 2009 and 2008. “Oops!”
