Sublime With Rome: An article in Thursday’s Calendar about ska-punk band Sublime With Rome identified Eric Wilson as the group’s drummer and Bud Gaugh as the bassist.

Mexican wrestling: An article in Sunday’s California section about a Mexican-style wrestling match held to raise money for recently arrested immigrants referred to Spanish epithets hurled by the crowd as groceros. The correct word is groserias. 
Translations: An illustration accompanying the article on learning languages overseas in the Jan. 6 Travel section included the German phrase “Ich bin verloren” as a translation of “I’m lost.” That is a more metaphorical translation of the phrase, indicating a state of distress. “Ich weiss nicht wo ich bin” is the correct phrase for not knowing one’s whereabouts.
