BAD SPELL-CHECKING CAUSES NAME CHANGES IN YEARBOOK


[+] serious ballot by UncleRandy
ACTIVE Mon Jun 02, 08 - Sat Feb 26, 11

A computerized spell-checker run amok christened several Pennsylvania high school students with new - and in some cases unflattering - last names.

Middletown Area High School's yearbook listed Max Zupanovic as *Max Supernova,* Kathy Carbaugh as *Kathy Airbag* and Alessandra Ippolito as *Alexandria Impolite,* just to name a few.

*It was kind of funny, but kind of rude at the same time,* Ippolito said.

The mistakes were found on only four of the yearbook's 176 pages - those that featured the band, chorus and student council, co-editor Amanda Gummo said.

Ed Patrick of Taylor Publishing, which printed the book, said his company takes responsibility for the errors and will provide free stickers printed with the correct names.

It happens all the time, every year. Look in any yearbook across the country.

Is that a good enough excuse?

My dad always said... Sorry Doesn't Fix The Lamp.
They should be ashamed.
Everybody knows that a computer spell checker does not recognize names.
You are overreacting, it's no big deal.
They should make the one responsible, put those stickers on all the yearbooks.
Execute them
