An ernest correction
By adamg - Tue, 02/26/2008 - 3:17pm.
Correction: Because of a reporting error, the obituary Sunday of author Robert L. "Robin" Moore, who wrote "The Green Berets" and "The French Connection," misspelled the first name of writer Ernest Hemingway.
Via Adam Reilly, who says he'd score that one an editor's mistake (hey, anybody remember when the Globe would run an annual tally of all its mistakes, categorized by reporter and editor, and the Phoenix would follow up with a discussion of when reporting mistakes should really be called editing mistakes?).

Globe year-end Correction tally
It used to be the Boston Globe Ombudsman who would tabulate the year-end tally and publish the results. (Or I guess ask the Globe librarian for the results and publish them.) Now that they don't have an Ombudsman anymore, don't expect the results to be published.
Dude, Seriously...
once or twice is cool, but how many times can rag on the Globe in a day? It's starting to get off putting. Have you run an end of the year mistakes tally? Please note, I'm only commenting out of concern for UH.
Another Hemingway misspelling
This reminds me of a letter to the editor in the Michigan Daily back when I was a student at U of M. It's the second letter on the page linked below - I can only assume the misspelling in the headline is intentional:
