Just have to share this one, as it really gave me a chuckle.
I'm doing a BSO of the title "Franciscan Book of Saints" because
I noticed when I started reading it that several of the Saints'
names are slaughtered in the copy that's in the collection. This
is one of those situations when spell checking will not catch the
errors, as the errors are in proper names.
Here's my favorite scanno so far:
Saint Conrad of Piacenza is listed in the table of contents as
"Saint Conrad of Placenta."
Hee hee hee! It's so incongruous, but there is no spelling
checker in the world that would have caught that one. It makes
me start laughing every time I read it!
Funny as it is to me, it's also a good example of why I carefully
read through books when I'm proofing them, instead of just
trusting in a spell checker. smile.
