Ingemar Johansson name was misspelled in your column about the worst saint. Maybe it’s spelled Johanson, but NOT Johannson.

I’d like to gush, but …

Well, counting Google hits isn’t by any means conclusive, but there are 350 for “Johannson”, compared with over 1800 for “Johanson”. I think you’re right.

There is another way. Just ask a Swede. His name is Ingemar Johansson.

Now, back to Catholic saints.

Just so you know, **Niels Hovmoller** , spelling errors are not the work of the perfect master, but instead represent the less-perfect efforts of Little Ed, who has been known to let the odd spelling and grammatical error slip by. 😉
