When the staff at Brigham Young University’s student paper, the Daily Universe, discovered their error, they pulled printed papers off of newstands and re-printed the edition. What was the big deal? A spelling error called the Latter Day Saints leaders “apostates” instead of “apostles.”
With Easter coming up, I’m reminded of the times I’ve seen “calvary” written as “cavalry.” It’s even hard to say those two words. When I was a little girl, I read Archie and Veronica comic books. Spelling mattered there, too. A love letter addressed to “Angle Face” instead of “Angel Face” caused offense. That letter “L” gets us into all kinds of troubel.
