I caught this small typo on the New York Times website last week and had the immediate urge to take a screenshot. I kept the file on my desktop for awhile, not knowing what to do with it.
This morning I realized what I like about it. Isn’t it a relief to know that even the New York Times makes a silly mistake sometimes?
The next time you make a dumb spelling error in the subject line of an email — or feel your blood pressure rising when a member of your account team does the same — remember that.
