48/365 Their, They're, There



Maybe you can't see the misused homophone in the print article, but Newsweek didn't correct it in the online version either. The flub is in this sentence. "...he now must feel knowing he is permanently established as one of the world's major frauds, up their with Sacha Stavisky..."


We teachers of the written word toil in the trenches and correct these endlessly. In vain.
