You say 'apostle' and I say . . .
Brigham Young University's The Daily Universe learned Monday that a typo can turn a boring General Conference photo caption into a sizzler:Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostates and other general authorities raise their hands in a sustaining vote. . . .The malicious spell-check program that turned "Apostles" into "Apostates" sent employees scurring around campus to grab every remaining copy of the 18,500 on newsstands. A reprinted edition will hit the streets this afternoon, says Brad Rawlins, chair of the Department of Communications.
This shows the deep concern we have on the matter. We don’t think this error is glib or cute or humorous. We understand people will take offense to the error. We ourselves are offended as a department for this error. We have a deep regret that it appeared in today’s paper.The spell-check program and several inattentive Daily Universe editors reported to BYU's re-education camp at dawn this morning.

See, this is why I don't watch sitcoms. Real life is amusing enough ;-)
Maybe the spell check has other plans for those men ;)
Follow-up story should be an update on what happens to the hapless copy editor who let that f--kup get through! He/she will likely be quietly "disappeared" as in some South American military regime. Or perhaps sentenced to a gulag.
Perhaps it was a Freudian slip!
I don't care who you are... that's funny
