Talk about typos!

Hurry, quick, go read this article

Hilarious, right?  Did you notice this?

Calling it "nothing more than a silly mistake," the Penguin Group head of publishing said the book that called for "freshly ground black people" versus "freshly ground black pepper" was a typographical error that should have been caught by their proofreader, but was unforunately missed, reports AP.


They couldn't even get the proofreading done correctly when they were apologizing for the bad proofreading they had already done!  OMG!


Hire some real people and quit relying on spell check and the like.  Now.

  4. Nice catch! I wouldn't have noticed. Well, I would have certainly noticed freshly ground black people, as I've never put that in any of my recipes. LOL

    Thanks for dropping by, LisaPie! Nice to meet you!
