All of us in Regret land hope you are having a Crunk-tastic Friday. Please enjoy this weekly look at our mistakes. And thanks to Steve, Dan and Stephanie for helping us look bad (but honest).
- Our December 10 post, "Potty mouth," misspelled the word "because" in this sentence: "Clearly, the only reason we're using this correction from The Journal Sentinel is because involves Dave Barry and a 'potty poncho.'" It has been corrected. We regret the error.
- Our December post, "Killing two birds with one correction," used the term "former heroine addict" instead of "former heroin addict" to describe Nicole Richie in this sentence: "This LA Times correction for a Joel Stein column contains everything you need for the holidays: a Presidential photo op, a turkey, and a former heroin addict." It has been corrected. We regret the error. Also, one reader pointed out that, "we recovery types don't consider anyone a 'former' addict." While true, we'd rather not get sued for deleting "former." But duly noted.
