At least this mistake won't make people's crock pots explode.

I love that dude responded with "well, doing your job correctly is hard!"

Look I'm sorry your car exploded, but building gas tanks is complicated work!

meh i've made weird typos like that before

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/8627335.stm

ahem, ned

ha i like how their reaction was "who cares? it was a typo, jeez"

are the black people locally sourced?

I like how their reaction was "We're mortified that this has become an issue of any kind" yet they don't understand why anyone would be offended. Isn't being "mortified" even more extreme of a reaction than being "offended"?

Yeah, but they're apparently only mortified that it became an issue. Not that it happened.

ah, a pasta holocaust

Cookbooks really ARE redonkulously hard to copy edit because of all the abbreviations and numbers, and the copy editor has no way of knowing which are right or wrong. (The mistake itt is an obvious one, but it's not surprising that something was overlooked.) Actually it's probably a success for a cookbook if they didn't make any mistakes that make the recipes turn out wrong (apart from the ridiculous) because that also makes the AUTHOR look bad (this way only the publisher does).

Shorter publishing seasons and a more market-driven book idea also make every project a rush, means there's less time for editing and proofing of all kinds. Pretty much sucks!

Do they publish cookbook errata?

i hadn't read that ronaldinho thread until just now. don't suppose anyone wants to talk about it?

Abbs: Yes! Although I think the general use of errata has declined since publishers tend to only print the copies they think they can sell in a short time -- the production cycle has gotten away from extended warehousing and toward a more on-demand market. So books are off the shelves faster and the pub can reprint the book w corrections already made.

Beat this: racism, sexism, ageism, and a soupcon of paedophilia.

very ronaldinho bottle opener

http://www.woginabox.com.au/index.html

what the hell is a "wogina"

shouldn't that be wopinabox? it's not even racistly correct.

if you have to ask

in Australian English the term was originally a pejorative for "Mediterranean" migrants, though in recent decades its offensiveness has been defused in certain contexts by common usage in pop-culture produced by the descendants of Mediterranean migrants.

Whoa! 'Gina in a box!

He had trouble getting the name registered for some reason.

I mean how is this even possible

So it's like a pun on http://www.wokinabox.com.au/ or something?

okay that makes it slightly less horrifying

only slightly

I was pretty o_O at first but it seems like it's a pejorative term that's been successfully reclaimed, so good on those old sheepfuckers.

LOL I never saw that WogInABox one. Yeah, the term's been slightly taken back by greek and italian migrants (the whole "wogs out of work" series of shows/plays etc) but geez calling a pizza shop "wog in a box" is just insane. Still, south australia what you gonna do.
