We all make mistakes

It's good to know that even reporters at The New York Times are human and make errors from time to time. In fact, they make a lot more errors than I'd bet most people expect. So below is a link to the online corrections page for the Times. It's kind of interesting to look at and see that even Times can publish a misspelling of Boris Yeltsin's wife's name. Another interesting thing, the publish date on this particular page is today, but some of the mistakes corrected are nearly 2 weeks old. It kind of proves that in this profession, we are alotted occasional mistakes but there is no excuse for not owning up to and apologizing for those mistakes.
