Favorite S-R typos

I asked in my column today about memorable typos.

I did not mention that the S-R has had its share over the years.

There was the recipe for “Honey-fried children” back in 1994, of course.

And “pubic education” has appeared a time or two, as I recall.

A subscription card inserted in vending machine copies of the paper once had a former editor’s name as “Christ Peck.”

But perhaps the most jaw-dropping example appeared in a photo caption.

The letter “x” mistakenly replaced the last letter in the first name of a woman named Liz Cox. The result was phonetically pornographic.

As I recall, she was a remarkably good sport about the error.
