The typewriter made a mistake lololololol!

At a Catholic high school I once attended (yes, this was the bullying mill), I had to take a class that was taught by a priest who always blamed the typewriter every time he handed out assignment sheets that were full of errors.

Well, by that "logic", the typewriter made a mistake here on Monday. Did you catch the typo?

By leaving out one word, it changed the entire meaning of the entry's main idea. It has since been corrected.

It blunted the point of the piece - which was that the government of a supposedly "democratic" country allied with the United States is now outlawing political parties just because of the parties' majority ethnic group.

The error was that I accidentally left out the word 'in' in the first sentence, which changed its whole meaning.

Expect more of this. My local school system wasn't exactly known for high literacy standards, and now we see the results.
