Erase errata

Regrettheerror.com have posted a list of the year’s best apologies and corrections in mainstream news. Some highlights:

A headline on page 1 on Saturday should have made clear that Oregon Health & Science University will be studying the effects of meth, not cooking it. - The Oregonian

A listing in Sunday Calendar said hot dogs would not be allowed at the Scandinavian Autumn Fest and Marknad on Sep 17 at Vasa Park in Agoura. No canines will be allowed at the event. - LA Times

It has come to the editor’s attention that [we] neglected to cover the civil rights movement. We regret the omission. - Lexington Herald-Leader

Also, two rather disappointing recipes:

[A] recipe for French coconut pie incorrectly… called for a pint of vodka. - Daily Press of Newport News, Virginia

In Wednesday’s Taste section, a Washington Post recipe on Page F7 included an incorrect cooking time for carbonada (braised beef with onions and red wine). The dish should be cooked for 2.5 hours, not 10 to 20 minutes. - Sacramento Bee
