The font is also broken - why mix lower-case ("a") with upper-case ("T") letters?

Because it's /hip/.

Great catch Andreas, Im so used to looking at all of today's printed mumbo jumbo, I never would have caught thAt.

Reminds me of one of the early releases of the Word Perfect software - the box had "Word Prefect" right on it. No one caught it.

(I used to work for Novell, the company that bought Word Perfect back in the mid-90's.)

Can you say 'Proofreader Pinkslipped'? Heads will or already have rolled over this. If they don't have a proofreader, then they dug their own grave. Jeez, don't go to Turkey on their information!

Am I the only one who thinks that the thing on the spine under the title looks like Michael Jackson is sunglasses?

No, god knows we've seen too much of him on the news recently.

A quick check with Google indicates "turksih" might be a valid spelling for things related to Turkish language. I thought I had seen that before when living in Europe.

Posted by: Ed Hurst at June 14, 2005 12:48 PM

Yeah! Michael Jackson in an Elvis suit!

And even if it is 'hip'...only the 'a' is lower case, even the'I' is in caps. That's just not right!

Isn't it fun being an armchair journalist? I love it!

Ed,

If I type "Turksih" into Google the first page is just obvious typos, often the summary also contains "Turkish".

"Turkik" is the name for Turkish and related languages.

Betcha it was printed somewhere in the Far East, probably China...

Three phrases should be among the most common in our daily usage. They are: Thank you, I am grateful and I appreciate.
