Proofreading mistake

Why We Proofread ... (A Continuing Series)

It’s always important to spellcheck.

Just ask the person who misspelled library – l-i-b-r-a-r-e-y.

It was part of a street marking painted in the parking lot at the Indianapolis Library Services Center.

A library employee says a contractor was responsible for the misspelling. Inn fact, the library PR person sent out a photo of the mistake with the caption "We don't see what is so funney?"

The error will be corrected.

(NOTE FROM MR. BRAAM: You still have time to find and send to me similar local examples of such mistakes for 1st-quarter extra credit!!!)
