PostHeaderIcon The package may have sat “there” for three weeks

PostDateIcon March 24th, 2011 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Thomas

This may be a case of a spellchecker typo, which is when a writer (or editor) lets spellchecker do their proofing for them and uses a correctly spelled word even though it is the wrong word. But no matter how this typo was created, it wasn’t corrected, and that’s shameful.

This typo was spotted on the REUTERS news web site in an article titled “Bomb sat for weeks at federal office” (here is the location of the original article). March 24, 2011
